I am very sorry to hear about your cross hatch. Fro what I read about triggers they are very easy to keep. How long was he in the store for before you brought him home. It could be that he went home too soon and did not have the time to adjust to captivity. Sometimes these things just happen...

I assume this means that you placed the fish directly into your display tank without using your QT.
If that is the case you are courting disaster as your tank is quite loaded and has some very valuable fish.
We have had two recent postings by members, both experienced reefers, who had loaded large tanks that were almost wiped out.
They can tell you or you can read their postings.

Please set up a QT without delay to avoid this tragedy.

What I have learned to do is pay for the fish and keep it at the store for a few weeks... this way I know he is for sure healthy and eating when I bring him home. I left my Sargassum trigger at the store for six weeks, and my Regal angel at the store for 12 weeks... they are happy and healthy in my display now, after being being in QT for awhile as well.

If the fish dies at the store, then they will have to give you either another fish, credit or a refund. It really sucks you lost your trigger, they are hard to come by.
