{"title":"Triggerfish (Available Now)","description":"\u003cp\u003eTriggerfish are a family of marine fish comprised of roughly 40 distinct species. They are characterized by their rhomboid shaped, laterally compressed bodies and comparatively large heads. Triggerfish are also equipped with extremely powerful jaws and teeth designed to crush the shells of various species of crustaceans. Triggerfish get their name from their two dorsal spines, which are locked into place as a defense mechanism against predators. When so erected, the first and larger dorsal spine can only be unlocked by depressing the second, smaller dorsal spine. They are also unique in the fact that they swim primarily by using an undulating motion of their dorsal and anal fins. They are regarded as some of the most fascinating and beautiful species of fish in the modern saltwater aquarium hobby. However, their extremely aggressive temperament requires the care of an experienced aquarist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTriggerfish are a family of marine fish comprised of roughly 40 distinct species. Triggerfish are found in the tropical and sub-tropical oceans across the world. Most species of triggerfish are vibrantly colored and their bodies are often adorned with complex patterns and markings. They come in shades of orange, yellow, purple, silver, grey, black and white. Triggerfishes are one of the most intelligent species of fish and individual specimens often display highly unique personalities. They are however an extremely dangerous species of fish and should only be raised by experienced aquarists. Triggerfishes are highly territorial and their teeth can cause serious injuries to careless aquarists. They can also be highly aggressive towards other tank mates and should ideally be kept as individual specimens.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"blue-throat-triggerfish-xanthichthys-auromarginatus","title":"Blue Throat Triggerfish (Xanthichthys auromarginatus)","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"405\" data-end=\"442\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong data-start=\"4\" data-end=\"31\"\u003eBlue Throat Triggerfish\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem data-start=\"33\" data-end=\"62\"\u003eXanthichthys auromarginatus\u003c\/em\u003e), also known as the Gilded or Bluechin Triggerfish, is a captivating semi-aggressive marine species prized for its unique blue throat patch and elegantly edged yellow fins.
