Marine Invertebrates

Over 95% of living organisms on the planet earth are marine invertebrates. Marine Invertebrates are organisms that lack a notochord, or backbone, and live in saltwater environments. Accounting for over 50,000 of Earths species, marine invertebrates can be found in almost every marine habitat on the face of the earth. Fossil records suggest that there have been Invertebrates living on earth for at least 665 million years. Invertebrates are animals that consume other organisms to produce energy and have a stomach type organ to aid in this process.

Clown Triggerfish make an amazing visual enhancement to reef tanks that mimic their natural habitat of Australia and the Indo-Pacific Ocean. These fiercely painted Triggerfish are prized for their contrasting spotted patterns and energetic feeding routines. Clown Triggerfish leave all joking aside when it comes to their carnivorous diet, enjoying a wide variety of fleshy delicacies such as shrimp, squid, clams and nearly anything shelled that aid in keeping their teeth ground down.

The Niger Triggerfish are one of the remote few Triggerfish that are typically kept in multiples within the same tank. This does not mean that they are passive in any way. They can still be very aggressive towards other fish, and smaller marine life such as shrimp and other invertebrates. Sometimes called Redtooth Triggerfish for the red teeth visible as they mature, this Triggerfish cannot be considered a reef safe fish because it will aggressively rearrange the contents of the aquarium, more so then some of the other breeds of Triggerfish.

Blue Reef Chromis

Blue Reef Chromis are a great passive addition to any mid-sized or larger marine aquarium. The active personalities of the Blue Chromis are improved by having multiples of the same species to school with and hover in the upper region of the water column. Adults only grow to around 5 inches, so any enclosure of 30 gallons or more can effortlessly house these easy to care for gorgeous fish which originate in the Caribbean and Western Atlantic waters.
