This is a cool fish. It can get stuck in rocks so watch out.

I left this comment under Undulate Trigger also.

Totally disagree with the comment about Triggers being poor swimmers! I have always Known in my experience and education that Triggers are in fact amazing swimmers if not the best of any fish in the sea. They can swim in any direction at any time and are definitely among the quickest around! That is the first time I have ever heard anyone call a Trigger a bad swimmer!

No Offensive but...
I have to say that I Totally disagree with the comments under the Clown Trigger Bio. It says that Triggers in general are bad swimmers! As Marine Biologist, we have always understood and acknowledged the Trigger Fish as one of the best, if not the best Swimmers of all the Fish, Fresh and Saltwater. They can swim in any direction at any moment and are definitely among the quickest around! I wonder who came up with that comment and where they got their info!

Ihave a 3" Clown Trigger a 2" Picaso and a 1 1/2" Undulated Trigger all in the same tank with a Puffer and two damsels. The Undulated though the smallest is the Alpha, then the Clown Trigger. They seem to be ok together for the most part. When I feed them it can get pretty violent. They both pick on the Picasso a lot but he really does not seem to care too much and just goes about his ways!

I too had an Undulated in my tank. The one and only book I read about the trigger species said that the Clown Trigger was the most aggressive out of all the species, and there was little information on the Undulated. He looked so awesome, the way his eyes moved and the orange & green lines. We named ours DUKE and that was the perfect name, he had attitude. He would wait for all the other fish to start "chewing"/"tearing" the feeders, all settled in their territories, Then "the Duke from hell" would come and round up everyone's elses food and go back to the middle of his rock. He had dug a nice little storage area below him and would sit over it. I had to use a drumstick to chase him away from the others so they could eat. Duke tried to antagonize a little Niger that we had just got. It was great, that little one showed him up and wouldn't back down. I enjoyed his personality, he was so proud of his accomplishments. I didn't do much television watching with all of that going on. Better than a soap opera. Like what I just wrote - sorry its so long

great looking fish, i own a 5.5 inch specimen. do not attempt to keep with peacful or small fish as its very aggressive.
i tryed to keep mine with a 5 inch naso tang when he was small and it chased and bit the tang repeatedly so had to be moved into another aquarium. now i keep the trigger in a 6x2x2 tank with a 7 inch red coris and a large emperor angel.

This is a great fish to get. It often digs, moves rocks, and sometimes makes grunting noises. This fish is agressive in my tank, even chasing, and picking at my lionfish.
