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.

Please note: Identification of fish, corals, etc. is a tricky business. It's entirely possible that I've incorrectly identified a photo I've taken. If you spot an error, please contact me so I can correct it and improve this resource.
