Need Lei trigger info

[jlcoop277]

Im looking to get a Lei trigger, I've found plenty of general info. I've not found if the fish in question or one of the other 7 names it goes by has several color variations. From all the pictures it looks like two main color options, does anyone know if theyre the same fish? Anyone have any experience with one?

Just a few other names
Boomerang trigger
Scythe trigger
Sufflamen bursa

yes, 2 common names and the latin is correct...cool trigger...the 2 i have owned tended to be fairly aggressive and real pitas...just like the whitetail i have right now...only the lei os cooler looking...keep him by himself or with a few damsels...
that said, i love triggers and love this trigger, but ime, and imo, this is one of those trigs that has poor attitude towards fishmates...but will act like a puppy with its owner...easy to fall in love with their personalities but deadly in the long run..lol, and possibly short run to his tankmates...

All of those colors come from the same fish, they have a pretty broad spectrum based on their mood. Mine stayed "gold" most of the time but could switch to a deep purple almost instantly.

Extremely aggressive, always barking at tankmates and chasing them out of the rocks. Mine wouldn't tolerate any fish in the lower half of the tank.

I have a Picasso & Niger trigger and a Porcupine puffer together right now. Sounds like I shouldn't add the Lei bc it wouldn't be good fit.
