Perfect for the seasoned reef enthusiast, this beautiful triggerfish promises to be both a centerpiece and a functional inhabitant in your saltwater aquarium.

**Care Level & Requirements**

- **Care Level:** Moderate
- **Temperament:** Semi-aggressive
- **Minimum Tank Size:** 100+ gallons
- **Diet:** Carnivore - requires a varied diet of meaty foods
- **Reef Safe:** With caution

**What to Expect**

The Black Lg Trigger is renowned for its sleek, jet-black body and bold demeanor. Its dynamic swimming style and engaging behavior make it a fascinating addition to larger aquariums. This species thrives in a spacious environment where it can establish territory and roam freely, thus a minimum tank size of 100 gallons is recommended to accommodate its active lifestyle.

**Feeding & Nutrition**

A carnivorous diet is essential for the Black Lg Trigger's health and vitality. Offer a variety of meaty foods such as shrimp, squid, and specialized marine pellets to ensure a balanced nutritional intake. Regular feeding will keep your triggerfish vibrant and active, displaying its characteristic boldness and agility.

**Compatibility & Tank Mates**

While the Black Lg Trigger is generally reef-safe, caution is advised when introducing it to a community tank. It can coexist with other robust fish species but may display territorial behavior, especially towards smaller, more timid tank mates. Ensure ample hiding spots and rock formations to reduce stress and territorial disputes.

**Reef Compatibility**

Though the Black Lg Trigger can be kept in reef aquariums, it's important to monitor its interactions with invertebrates and corals. While some hobbyists report success, the trigger's curious nature may lead it to nip at or disturb certain reef inhabitants.

By choosing the Black Lg Trigger, you are adding a dynamic and visually stunning fish to your marine collection. With the right care and environment, this triggerfish will not only thrive but become a compelling focal point in your aquatic sanctuary.

Feeding & Diet

An opportunistic omnivore, the Pithos Crab will scavenge detritus, uneaten food, and algae — making it a natural cleanup crew member. Supplement with small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or pellets 2–3x per week if natural food sources are limited.

Care & Water Parameters

The Pithos Crab thrives in stable, well-maintained reef conditions. Target parameters: temperature 72–78°F, salinity 1.025–1.026 SG, pH 8.1–8.4, and alkalinity 8–12 dKH. A mature, established tank of at least 20 gallons is recommended.

Reef & Tank Compatibility

Generally considered reef-safe. The Pithos Crab coexists well with most corals and peaceful fish. Use caution with very small invertebrates or slow-moving tankmates. Provide ample rockwork and hiding spots to reduce territorial behavior.

Size & Growth

Pithos Crabs are typically shipped at 0.5–1.5 inches. They are slow-growing and generally remain small, making them well-suited for nano and mid-size reef systems.
