If you have a FOWLR large enough I’d say the blueline trigger is one of if not the most gorgeous in its species. They are known to be one of the nastiest triggers as well so be careful with tank mates. They are not suitable for reefs as they may eat beneficial inverts and use stony corals as chew toys.
