Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is happy to exhibit the deepwater triggerfish Rhinecanthus abyssus for the first time in Japan.
Deepwater triggerfish
Scientific name: Rhinecanthus abyssus
This is a rare species of triggerfish that inhabits deep waters (depths around 150 meters). Part of its body is lemon color and it has three distinctive black lines between its eyes. Its ecology is poorly known due to so few cases of this fish being caught.
