    Triggers have teeth that grow so it would be wise to feed them clams and such. Also squid, krill, smaller fish ect.... They are Carnivors so meat in general

    I had a pink tail at one time and fed it what everyone else was eating. Usually Mysis and it would actually eat Nori.

    But clams and a variety of things is always best.
    I also found if I was to buy some additional clean up crew I would have to place them in the bottom of the tank. If I dropped a snail or hermit in the tank with out protecting it, the trigger would eat it right away
