What is the trailer in the Ethernet frame and why is the FCS incorrect?

image description

I captured an ARP Reply, there are both padding and trailer in the Ethernet frame.

As far as I know, padding is to make the frame length reach at least 64B.

But, what is the trailer used for?

And Wireshark does not display FCS in other frames,why is the FCS incorrect in this frame?
