Care Notes: The Moon Trigger is a colorful species native to the Indo-Pacific, featuring a distinctive crescent-shaped mark near its tail and vibrant blue, yellow, and orange patterns. It is territorial and can be aggressive toward other fish, often harassing peaceful tankmates. Requires a large aquarium with ample rockwork and open swimming space. Its diet includes meaty foods such as shrimp, squid, and chopped seafood. It also eats invertebrates, making it unsuitable for reef tanks.
