Any body who has ever kept a triggerfish will tell you a funny story about
an experience they've had with these bright (and tough) fish. and if i werent supposed to be doing homework right now i would tell you a few. ( i will post them later) so tell me some of yours if you have any.
 
I had a clown trigger for the longest time he hated anything in the tank when I would clean I would have to put a finger in one end and he would fly to it and hurry and scrape algae with the other. But I would alway's try to hand feed him to calm his aggression around my hand in the tank. So finally after doing this for a year he started to swim up to my hand and rub against it like a cat does to your leg and would lightly nibble my finger's as if to ask for some food. I miss him R.I.P. clowny :'-(

my trigger fish loved to "treadmill" on the flow of my power head. so when i aimed it at the surface for oxygenation and he couldnt play in the flow he decided to knock it of the suction mount and tried to dismantle it. when i walked in he had latched on to the venturi imput and was shaking it like a dog on a rat. he actually put a mark on it.

on day i was feeding him baby stone crabs and one went under a rock. my trigger began to try to remove the rock ( which was TWICE his size) so i offered to help by putting my net into the tank to move the rock. he grabbed the net handle pulled it out of my hand and took it to the otherside of the tank. when i went to retrieve it he charged me and bit my wrist HARD!
 
once when I was cleaning, my huma trigger stole away under a fake coral, and when I just started to brush algae off, my huma fell into the sink. Luckily, he was alright... he treated me like a enemy until he figured he couldn't do anything about it, so he started being his normal self.
 
ive never kept triggers, but one day when i was at an lfs an employee wanted to show some customers how aggressive triggers are so he dropped a feeder in the tank full of triggers and then let the customers watch the chaos that ensued in the tank.
 
hmm, at least they didn't have a queen in there!
