The Queen Triggerfish is a captivating and vibrant larger triggerfish. These fish display a predominantly grayish-tan body with a yellowish jaw, accented by striking blue patterns on their jaw and fins.

Reaching up to 20 inches in length, Queen Triggerfish require a minimum tank size of 240 gallons. Known for their aggressive nature, they are not suitable for tanks with smaller, more peaceful fish or invertebrates. Their tendency to rearrange rock structures makes them unsuitable for reef aquariums.

In spacious fish-only tanks, the Queen Triggerfish thrives, bringing dynamic movement and vibrant color. They exhibit a unique swimming style and prefer tanks with ample live rock for hiding when threatened.

As carnivores, Queen Triggerfish need a diet rich in meaty foods. Young fish benefit from mysis and brine shrimp, along with high-quality frozen foods. As they grow, larger pieces of fresh seafood like scallops, shrimp, clams, and fish are ideal. Foods with hard shells help maintain their teeth.
