The **Blue Throat Triggerfish** stands out as one of the most visually captivating triggerfish species. These fish possess a sleek, elongated body predominantly colored in a grayish-blue hue adorned with numerous white spots. Their fins are accented with yellow, with males displaying a more pronounced blue and yellow coloration.

Reaching up to 9 inches in length, **Blue Throat Triggerfish** require a minimum tank size of 90 gallons. They exhibit semi-aggressive behavior, typically targeting smaller fish and certain invertebrates. While they can be housed in reef aquariums, it's important to note the potential risk to smaller tank inhabitants.

Due to their size, **Blue Throat Triggerfish** may rearrange tank decorations and need ample live rock for hiding and creating caves when threatened. Their unique "trigger" fin helps them secure themselves within rocks, preventing extraction.

As carnivores, **Blue Throat Triggerfish** thrive on a diet rich in meaty foods. Offering them mysis shrimp and high-quality seafood such as squid, clams, shrimp, fish, and scallops will ensure their health and vitality.
