Great pics! Stunning fish :cool: Looks huge. How big is it?

Nice trigger species! Are they difficult to find? Expensive? What size tank do you have him in?

Cheers

He doesn't stay still long enough for me to measure LOL but I guess about 3" maybe just over.

He's fairly big at just under 5"

They used to be fairly hard to find, but they are becoming more and more available. Of course they are a little pricey due to the fact they are one of the few reef-safe triggers. No where near the price of a Crosshatch though. But they still run between $100-$200 on average.

He's living in my 180g reef and doing well.

Wow, man! That's some serious coloration he's got!
What do you have for lighting?

Had a male, but it died. It was the same price.

For lighting I have 3x 250w 14K SE EVC Bulbs & E-Ballasts.

I would love to keep a mated pair but I just don't have the room in my tank for them. Perhaps later if I upgrade someday...
