how many days can a clown triggerfish go without food

[alcatraz01]

I did not feed the triggerfish for a day as I had to attend to a client, and I was worried

If your tank is a well established tank. They still find food on their own. 1 day. .. nothing to worry

Had noticed the clown triggerfish often hide in cave. I thought it was not feeling well. Size of triggerfish is about 4". Any bro had same behavior of the clown triggerfish.

I had thought the clown triggerfish will not survive but today morning, the clown triggerfish finally came out of hiding. The belly is so thin as it had not eaten since 12 August.

Just for info, the clown triggerfish was bought on 9 August and introduce into tank. The 1st 2 day it was swimming around, then went into hiding after 3rd day and came out after 3 days. It is now one week on the tank and eating any of these ~ pellets, flakes, Mysis shrimp, dried shrimp.

seems 12 days without food is the longest a clown trigger can go without food。any bro and/sis has differ experienced opinion， care to share。
