The Clown triggerfish. The Clown triggerfish has got to be one of my favourite fish on the reef and is always incredibly relaxed. These little fish have trigger-like spines on the tops of their bodies that will pop when threatened, but they use it more like an anchor than anything else, locking them into small spaces to stop predators from getting to them.

Meet the queen triggerfish in Great Maya Reef! The name triggerfish comes from their ability to lock its dorsal fin. When upright, the dorsal-fin spine is locked in place by its second spine. The first spine can only be lowered after the second is pulled back, like a trigger! | Audubon Aquarium

Triggerfish, known for their tough, armor-like skin and diamond-shaped scales, use their unique dorsal spines to defend themselves and wedge into crevices, making them difficult to dislodge or swallow. They are also known for their aggressive behavior, especially when guarding their nests. | Fishing World Tv

The triggerfish looks big and intimidating, but most of the time it’s just defending its territory. They’re known for getting protective during nesting season, especially the titan triggerfish. When you see one coming close like this, the best move is to stay calm, keep your fins away from the nest area, and swim out to the side instead of straight up. They’re curious, smart, and very aware of divers—so encounters like this are normal, as long as you respect their space. . . 🇲🇽Español El pez b
