**Undulated Lg Trigger: A Bold and Striking Reef Showstopper**

Introducing the Undulated Lg Trigger (Balistapus undulatus), a captivating addition to any saltwater aquarium known for its vibrant color palette and bold personality. With its striking green and orange hues, interspersed with intricate undulating patterns, this triggerfish is sure to be the focal point of your underwater display. Ideal for experienced aquarists seeking a unique and active species, the Undulated Lg Trigger combines visual appeal with a dynamic presence that enlivens your marine environment.

**Care Requirements**

- **Water Parameters**: Ensure optimal health for your Undulated Lg Trigger by maintaining stable water conditions. Ideal parameters include a temperature range of 74-78°F, pH levels between 8.1-8.4, and a specific gravity of 1.020-1.025. Regular monitoring and water changes are essential to keep your trigger thriving.

- **Tank Size**: Given their active nature and potential size, a spacious environment is crucial. We recommend a minimum tank size of 180 gallons to provide ample swimming space and reduce territorial aggression.

- **Feeding**: A varied diet is key to maintaining the vibrant health of your Undulated Lg Trigger. Offer a mix of meaty foods such as shrimp, squid, and krill, supplemented with quality marine pellets or flakes. Occasional feedings of algae-based foods will ensure a well-rounded diet.

**Compatibility and Tankmates**

While the Undulated Lg Trigger can coexist with other large, robust species, they may display aggression towards more docile or smaller tankmates. Caution is advised when introducing them to a reef tank, as they have been known to nip at invertebrates and corals. Carefully selecting compatible tankmates and providing ample hiding spots can help mitigate territorial disputes.

**Why Choose Undulated Lg Trigger?**

For aquarists who appreciate boldness and beauty, the Undulated Lg Trigger offers an unmatched blend of dynamic behavior and stunning aesthetics. With proper care and consideration, this remarkable species will be a long-lasting and engaging centerpiece in your marine aquarium. Embrace the vibrant energy of the Undulated Lg Trigger and elevate your reef experience to new heights.

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.
