Maze clown trigger

[GeoSquid]

My trigger is about 6" and has been changing to adult colors but his pattern seems a bit different, so I looked it up. It is resembling a maze trigger. Are these really rare?

Nice looking trigger!

The colors on this trigger are insane! So cool! I think mine is about 10 inches now. The coolest change I noticed was the pink coloring on the fins. As it gets older some of the yellow is turning brown-ish.

This trigger grows fast. It was half the size of the Picasso when I got it. Now, it's almost double the picasso.

This pic is probably from a year ago, looks like it is about half the size, with less coloration.

I think it looks best about 6 months ago.

This is 3 days ago.

Here’s a couple new shots of the CT you can see how it looks “older” as my wife put it. More brown-ish. Tried to get it next to the golden puffer which was advertised at 10 inches the puffer might be an inch longer.

That is really cool. I bought a small trigger about 1 1/2 years ago and he's getting the black spots in the white circles just like this one.

Yes, lets see some pics. I wonder if the maze triggers are worth more? Anyone want to buy him !

Best pic I could get. As he grows more and more of the white dots get little black dots inside. At first It was marks from the Sohol or Clown tang.

Colors are coming in nicely!

Wow what an incredible trigger.
Congrats, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing this guy when he’s huge

I wonder if it’s a hybrid, due to the shape of the mouth and bottom. It’s not a typical clown shape

So did you figure out if he is a clown trigger with a rare color variant?

It looked like the other clown triggers when it was small. Its growing really fast. It was 1/3 the size of a Picasso when I added it. It's now triple the size of the Picasso.....and a hippo tang.
