Care Notes: The White Tail Trigger is a moderately peaceful species native to the Indo-Pacific. It has a dark body with pale blue markings and a distinctive white tail fin. This trigger prefers large tanks with plenty of rockwork and open swimming space. It feeds on meaty foods such as shrimp, squid, and marine pellets. While less aggressive than some triggers, it may nip at smaller fish or invertebrates. Suitable for larger reef tanks with caution and best housed with semi-aggressive or larger peaceful species.
