More about Pinktail trigger

The Pinktail triggerfish (Melichthys vidua) is recognized for its striking appearance, featuring a predominantly dark body with a vivid pink tail. Native to the Indo-Pacific region, this species is characterized by its robust, laterally compressed body and distinctive dorsal and anal fins. Despite its appealing coloration, it is not among the most well-known species within the aquarium hobby, possibly due to its size and the specific care requirements.
