What kind of trigger is this

The big one right in the center. Looks like a Queen Trigger but lacks the coloration and the markings.

that is a mature blueline. They are HUGE and not as pretty as the juvi's IMO.

At a glance, I would say Ocean trigger, but after a close look its definitely an adult Blueline.

I agree its an ocean trigger. They have a 14" for sale at lfs near me. They are terrors.

that is probably a grey. I bet the people who run that tank have sense enough not to put an ocean trigger in that tank.

i've caught many of both (ocean and grays) The one in that pic is a gray. For those who are not sure just look at the other fish in the tank. There all Atlantic ocean fish.
