Updated Queen Trigger pics

Her color is getting much better. Pics



















I don't know if you guys can tell much difference with the pics, but in person she is coloring up very nicely. The blues in her dorsals and around her streamers are becoming more vibrant.

Yep, there's the blue! Yeah, the night lights make it a bit harder to tell, but you can.

Awesome fish. Top marks to you for rescuing her.

How are you finding her temperament in the new tank? Is she agressive towards you? Does she just cruise up and down now or does she charge around rearranging things?

Sorry for the questions but she's a stunning fish and curiousity has got me!!

Her temperament - well, she doesn't bite at the glass if you put your hand on it...like a lot of clown triggers I've seen. She has moved some rock around a bit. But I don't think she is destructive. You have to consider her size, she could just bump a rock and knock it over easily. She is, however, nibbling on the hard coral in the middle of the tank.

Her diet, I have tried to vary her diet from Krill, formula 1, squid, NLS pellets XL formula, raw shrimp. I tried feeding her some green algae and that was a no go.

Titan, I built her a passage on the right side of the tank that she can go in/out of. You can't see it in the pictures. But that is where she sleeps. I had the mound of rock laid out better that you see in the pics, but she redecorated those, lol.
