Description: Niger Trigger is a stunning fish with beautiful vivid color! Niger triggers are not too aggressive as juveniles, but as it grows, it becomes more aggressive. They are not considered reef-safe, since it eats ornamental shrimp and other invertebrates. The aquarium should be well-established with lots of rockwork and hiding places. The exact color of niger triggerfish varies between blues and purples. This triggerfish will go after and eat all prepared foods.
