Triggerfish life span

[secrest]

I was wondering how long triggers normally live for. Are they long lived? I would figure they are since they grow so slow, but thought I would see others responses.

How long have you had your trigger for and what type?

Thanks

I had a niger trigger for a year and a half. We had to give him away as he ate all of my shrimp. I think they are long lived.

They should easily live more than 10 or 15 years.

I have a Clown Trigger that is pushing 14..... and a Crosshatch that is 5. Triggers are very long lived (or should be!)

Do you have any pics of your trigs?, particularly the 14yr old clown. I have a 2 yr old clown trigger and would love to see what a 14 yr old looks like. Cheers.
