Balistoides conspicillum
The Clown Triggerfish is arguably the most visually striking triggerfish in the ocean, featuring large white polka dots on a jet-black lower body, a vivid yellow-ringed mouth, and orange upper markings. It grows over 20 inches and demands a very large aquarium (200+ gallons), where it will assert dominance and prey on invertebrates, smaller fish, and anything it can fit in its powerful jaws. A species for the dedicated, experienced aquarist.
