Our New Sargassum Trigger!!!

[seanoman]

So far so good. Our regal tang was the only one who got it's guard up a little when the trigger went and checked out it's sleeping place, but other than that the fish all just seem really curious. I expected the trigger to be a lot more shy since we just added it but it also seems very curious about it's new home.

I just read that larger males (whatever that means?!) have red on their tails, and I thought I saw some red in the photos

Well our trigger does have red on it's tail...so maybe. I'm not sure if that would be the case yet though as it's probably about 5 inches long. It still has a fair bit to grow.

Looks like a female bluethroat (sargassum) to me, a male would have well a blue throat on him.

Although it looks similiar, it is not a blue throat trigger. But I can see why you would think that because some of the markings and colours are similiar.
