Fish ID?

Saw this guy at the aquarium today and was fascinated at how it has no fin! What is it called and what are the requirements if wanting to keep at home reef tank?

That's a Triggerfish.

@OrchidMiss any tips?

Blue jaw trigger. Won’t bother corals but, being a trigger, may go after some inverts. Gets roughly 10-12”, so needs space

Beautiful fish

Googling, various vendors recommend a minimum 125 gallon tank, and as active as that fish is in that aquarium, I believe it.

Welp! Let me get my feet wet with a smaller tank and then hopefully upgrade to a bigger tank in the future to house one of these.

The beauty of them is they are commonly sold to the hobby as both a male and female pair; I had two in a 150-gallon. Very nice fish. A little more docile than other triggers, in my experience.

I wouldn’t trust any of these answers. That right there is a bristle worm tooth fairy.

Blue throat/ blue jaw triggers are stunning, fairly peaceful triggers.
Agreed they wont bother corals. My female didnt care about inverts, but she was fairly small

Lots of open space for zooming!
