Rectangulus Triggerfish are carnivores that feed on small crustaceans, brine shrimp, and other meaty marine foods. They are generally not reef safe, as they rarely bother corals or invertebrates but may consume very small tankmates if confined. Their elegant patterns and calm nature make them a captivating and manageable choice for hobbyists seeking a unique and visually appealing triggerfish.
