This species is one of the few triggers that can be kept in the reef aquarium. They are less destructive and will usually ignore coral and invertebrates.
The Blue Throat Triggerfish needs a varied diet of meaty foods including; squid, krill, mussel, small fish and hard shelled shrimp or cockle in shell to help wear down their ever growing teeth.
