Bluethroat Triggerfish
Xanthichthys auromarginatus
Origin: Indo-Pacific – Hawaii, Marshall Islands, Micronesia
Size: Up to 25 cm
Reef Compatibility:
Diet: Omnivore – feeds on plankton, meaty frozen foods, and high-quality prepared marine diets.
Care Level: Moderate – requires stable water quality and ample swimming space.
Aggression: Semi-aggressive – generally peaceful toward fish but can be territorial toward similar-sized tankmates.
Captive-Bred Available: ❌ No
Notes:
The Bluethroat Triggerfish is a peaceful, mid-water species distinguished by its pale body and vivid blue throat patch. Unlike many triggers, it is reef-safe with corals but may consume small invertebrates such as shrimp or crabs. Requires a large tank with open swimming space and moderate water flow.
Why We Like It:
Striking in colour, hardy, and full of personality, the Bluethroat Triggerfish adds dynamic movement and visual interest to the reef. Its peaceful nature toward fish and coral makes it a rare, desirable trigger for reef enthusiasts.
