COMMON NAME OF THE SPECIE: Red Tooth Triggerfish
LOCATION: Blue Triggerfish are found in the Indo-Pacific: Red Sea south to Durban, South Africa and east to the Marquesas and Society islands, north to southern Japan, south to the southern Great Barrier Reef in Australia and New Caledonia
HABITAT: These fish Inhabit reef channels or along slopes that are subject to strong currents. Occur in current-swept seaward coral reefs.
SIZE: Upto 50 cm Upto 0.2 KG
DIET: Feeds on Zoo Plankton as well as sponges. They are carnivours,so eat many different types of meaty food.
FACT: Their pectoral fins are quite small; as a result they steer mostly with their dorsal and anal fins, which makes them very maneuverable, and they also use these fins to move with an exotic type of propulsion reminiscent of a propellor.
