Niger triggerfish personality?

[daniella3d]

Hi,

I have a little niger triggerfish in my aquarium and it is very very skittish. Nothing bold in that little fish at all. Not a mean bone either.

He does not attack my shrimp, nor the crabs, nor the fish.

I got him at 3" and kept it in quarantine for 6 weeks (treated it for one popeye) and now he's 5" and he's been in my main tank for 2 weeks but he's so skittish! Is that normal?

Any sudden move and he dash like mad in the liverock, so much that sometime he gets scratches on his side. I have read that a niger trigger will get bold with age but when? I guess each one has its own personality but I just hope he'll get a little more confident.

Nobody is attacking the trigger and he's bold at time of eating (eats like an ogre!) but as soon as he finish eating he's his old self again and back to skittish mode.

I thought these fish were bold and fearless?
