Overview

It is also recognized by the black V-pattern outlined in yellow that highlights the posterior section of the body.

The Humu Rectangle Triggerfish needs a varied diet of meaty foods including; squid, krill, clams, small fish and hard shelled shrimp to help wear down their ever growing teeth.

My specimen is roughly 5in in size is quite shy tends to move substrait and rock for a comfort zone tends to be slighty agressive durring feeding, like most triggers it prefers larger frozen shrimp and live shrimp, my specimen also has no issue with other species of trigger aswell, this was my third fish from live aqauria and yet again extremely impressed with fish health and service will not buy fish from anyone else but here!
