Pallid Triggerfish
A Pallid Triggerfish - Photographed in the Maldives

The Pallid, or Boomerang, Triggerfish is found throughout the Indo-Pacific, but is somewhat rare. Of course, it's often colored so as to blend in with sandy bottoms, so it can be hard to spot.

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.
