Aquarium Setup:
Due to their large adult size, Clown Triggerfish need really big tanks. They’re active fish that like to swim and will often search for food on the tank bottom rearranging things such as plants and rocks.

They sleep in caves and hide in them when frightened. So, make sure that you provide lots of large size caves and hiding spots for them. You can use rocks to create caves, but they will need to be secured or they may get knocked over.
