The Pinktail Triggerfish is a captivating and vibrant species, known for its predominantly green body accented with yellow facial highlights and a distinctive pink tail. These fish can grow up to 16 inches in length and require a minimum tank size of 180 gallons. Known for their aggressive nature, they should not be housed with smaller, peaceful fish or invertebrates, as they may become prey. Exercise caution when introducing a Pinktail Triggerfish to a reef aquarium.
These fish thrive in tanks with ample live rock, providing them with hiding spots. Despite their aggressive demeanor, they can become startled and seek refuge among the rocks until they feel secure. As carnivores, Pinktail Triggerfish need a diet rich in meaty foods, such as mysis and brine shrimp, along with high-quality seafood like clams, squid, shrimp, and fish to maintain their health and vitality.
