Transform Your Tank with One of the Ocean's Boldest Specimens
Looking for a true showstopper in your saltwater aquarium? The Clown Trigger is one of the most visually striking marine species on the planet: a mosaic of white polka dots, vivid orange lips, and a jet-black body that commands attention the moment it enters the water. Rarely available at this small size, this is a rare opportunity to grow alongside one of the hobby's most iconic and sought-after specimens. This XS individual is the perfect entry point for aquarists who want personality and presence in a single addition.
At approximately 2.5", this specimen is young, adaptable, and acclimating beautifully to aquarium life, a significant advantage over larger, more territorial individuals. Clown Triggers are bold, interactive, and intelligent; they quickly recognize their keeper and become the undeniable centerpiece of any marine aquarium. Plan for a species that can reach 18" in the wild. A dedicated, spacious saltwater tank is essential as it grows, rewarding patient aquarists with decades of unforgettable character.

Fish Health
Our fish are selected with appearance, behavior, and feeding response in mind before being listed. We aim to offer healthy, alert specimens for established saltwater systems.
Compatibility
Please confirm this fish is compatible with your tank size, current livestock, temperament needs, and reef goals before ordering. If you are unsure, contact us before checkout and we’ll help you choose responsibly.
Shipping & Pickup
Livestock ships Monday through Wednesday. We confirm a delivery day with you before your order goes out, and we will hold it if the weather is bad or an animal needs more time in quarantine.
Fish orders over $599 qualify for free shipping. Coral orders over $399 qualify for free shipping. Free same-day Miami pickup is available at 46 NW 36th St and is usually ready in 1–2 hours.
Live Arrival Guarantee
Eligible livestock orders are covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee. Photograph the animal in its sealed bag before you open anything, then email that photo with your order number within two hours of delivery. Our team reviews every claim and gets you an answer within one business day. Failed delivery attempts, refused packages, or missed delivery windows may void coverage.
Acclimation
Acclimate fish carefully and introduce them into a stable, established saltwater aquarium. Match temperature and salinity slowly, keep lights low during introduction, and monitor behavior closely after release.
Photography
We photograph our fish in house to show their coloration and patterning as clearly as we can. Colors can look different under your own lights.
When a fish in our WYSIWYG collection has one in stock, the photo is the exact fish you receive. Other fish listings use a representative photo of the species and the quality you can expect. Every fish is carefully selected for health, coloration, and temperament before shipping.
SELECTED FOR ESTABLISHED SYSTEMS
Healthy Fish Start With Careful Selection.
Every fish is selected with color, behavior, and compatibility in mind. We focus on livestock that makes sense for real reef systems, not just impulse purchases.
If you have questions about temperament, tank size, or reef compatibility, contact us before ordering.
