I’ve really been thinking of adding a clown trigger to my mixed reef lately I really miss having a clown trigger, is there any advice you could give me if I decide to do so ?
Welcome to the Smorgasbord!
Yes.
Adding a baby one usually is fine for a while, especially if you have another bossy fish, tang/large angel to keep it in line.
I only had a small patch of zoas to start with mine.
He was maybe an inch and I slowly started adding stuff, just no hard corals,those are a snack.
As I'm sure you're aware the clowns have quite a personality and can become extremely aggressive and, honestly can go rouge at any time as an adult.
I'm very hands on with mine.
Besides the French angelfish, triggers are my favorite.
In the beginning I would move the scape around a lot, physically moving him. Seems to help.
Main key. Feed a lot and they'll leave stuff alone. Mostly.
They'll move/eat/chew rocks, snails etc to grind down their teeth.
I don't know what you fed yours but I feed mine eggs, shrimp, scallops,garden worms.
Hope that helps.
