$120.00

Clown Triggerfish (Balistoides conspicillum)

The Clown Triggerfish is a bold and striking marine fish, instantly recognizable by its dramatic black body adorned with large white spots on the lower half, a bright yellow mouth, and vibrant patterning along the dorsal and tail fins. Known for its assertive personality and unique appearance, this fish becomes a captivating centerpiece in large aquariums.

Size: Typically grows up to 20 inches in length

Country of Origin: Indo-Pacific region, including the Maldives, Indonesia, and northern Australia

Latin Name: Balistoides conspicillum

Care Level: Difficult – requires a large, well-established aquarium with stable water parameters, plenty of hiding spots, and open swimming space

Clown Triggerfish are carnivores that feed on crustaceans, mollusks, and other meaty marine foods. In captivity, they thrive on a diet of mysis shrimp, silversides, clams, and squid. They are not reef safe, as they may eat smaller fish, shrimp, and invertebrates, but their striking coloration and bold personality make them a highly sought-after showpiece for advanced marine aquarists.
