Known for its striking appearance and dynamic personality, the Bursa Trigger is sure to become a focal point in your aquatic environment. This eye-catching fish boasts a unique combination of colors with its bold patterns and charmingly inquisitive nature.
**Care Requirements**
The Bursa Trigger thrives in a well-maintained environment with stable water parameters.

To ensure the well-being of your Bursa Trigger, a tank size of at least 100 gallons is recommended to provide ample space for swimming and exploration.
**Feeding and Nutrition**
A carnivorous species, the Bursa Trigger benefits from a varied diet consisting of high-quality marine-based foods. Offer a mix of meaty foods such as shrimp, squid, and clams, supplemented with occasional feedings of pellets or flakes designed for carnivorous fish. Feeding should be twice daily to support optimal health and growth.
**Compatibility and Behavior**
The Bursa Trigger is a hardy and adaptable fish, making it an excellent choice for experienced reef aquarium hobbyists. While its bold personality can be a delight, care should be taken when introducing it to a community tank. The Bursa Trigger may show aggression towards smaller, more passive tank mates. It is generally not recommended for peaceful reef environments with delicate invertebrates due to its potential to nip at corals and sessile invertebrates.
