Trigger fish
Triggerfish are often brightly-colored, with dorsal fins located far back along their body - sometimes even merging into the tail. They feed on hard-shelled invertebrates (including coral), a few feed on large zooplankton or algae. They lay their demersal eggs in a small hole, dug in the ground. Some species guard their eggs - jealously.
