The Pineapple Trigger is an impressive and vibrant triggerfish species. These fish have a predominantly gray body with a pink face that resembles a human, earning them their nickname. Their bodies are adorned with striking blue spots.

The Pineapple Trigger can grow up to 24 inches and requires a minimum tank size of 300 gallons. Known for their aggressive nature, they tend to attack smaller fish and invertebrates, making them unsuitable for reef aquariums due to their size and temperament.

These fish thrive in large, fish-only tanks alongside other large, aggressive species. They have a habit of rearranging rock structures to their preference. Despite their aggression, they can be startled and will often seek refuge among the rocks.

The Pineapple Trigger is a carnivorous species that needs a diet rich in meaty foods. While young, they can be fed mysis and brine shrimp, but as they mature, they require larger portions of fresh seafood such as fish, shrimp, squid, clams, and scallops.
