Care Notes: The Caribbean Grey Trigger is a large, robust species found in the Western Atlantic. It has a gray body with subtle markings and a strong, angular head. This trigger is aggressive and territorial, requiring a spacious aquarium with sturdy rock formations and open swimming areas. It feeds on meaty foods such as shrimp, squid, clams, and will also eat invertebrates. Not suitable for reef tanks due to its size, aggression, and tendency to nip at corals and invertebrates.
