Xanthichthys lineopunctatus, also known as the striped triggerfish, is a rare marine fish species.
Here are some interesting details about the linespot triggerfish:
- Appearance: The male linespot triggerfish displays a maroon-colored tail, a series of lines and spots on its body, and blue streaks across the jaw. In contrast, the female is more muted overall.
- Habitat: This species is predominantly documented from the Indian Ocean, with fewer reports from Southeast Asia.
- Behavior: Xanthichthys triggerfish are open-water fish, making them non-destructive in a reef aquarium environment. Their reef-safe and low-aggression qualities make them ideal for home aquariums. Additionally, they are hardy and adaptable.
The linespot triggerfish joins other celebrated aquarium fish like blue throats, crosshatch, goldenbacks, and sargassum triggerfish.
