Crosshatch Trigger

This is one of the less aggressive members of the family. It feeds on zooplankton. It can be kept with moderately-aggressive tankmates and can even be kept in groups (one male and one or more females) in extra large aquariums.  Being a Planktivore, it will not harm corals in the reef aquarium. The male does not color up until reaching a large size. Males smaller than 6 inches will look like a female. So in order to get the color so coveted you must get a large specimen.
