Yeah, Triggers can get pretty dramatic in their color changes.
If his behavior is normal otherwise, i wouldnt sweat it at all....
Just for kicks, get up one night after having the tank lights out for awhile and get a flashlight and shine it on your clown then...see what his color looks like then.....I'm betting pretty washed out...

Great game hitman 1 & 2. Yep I seen the same thing with Clown triggers before I would guess that this is a small Clown, as they get larger they don't exhibit this behavior as much because they are so bad they are not worried. But then they will move all your rocks around.

Nothing actually, I moved and had to tear down tanks years ago...havent had a trigger since. My girlfriend and I live together and since we live in a smaller apartment, I'm restricted to one tank only....going reef w/ that so, no more triggers for awhile....
