Also called: Red-Lined Triggerfish, Undulated Triggerfish

Scientific name: Balistapus undulatus

Orange-Lined Triggerfish
A Orange-Lined Triggerfish - Photographed in the Maldives

This colorful fish can be found throughout Southeast Asia. Although much smaller than the Titan Triggerfish, this little guy can be just as aggressive when guarding its eggs. Like the Titan, the Orange-Lined Trigger is generally very solitary.

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.
