Black triggerfish

※Off display.

This species of triggerfish lives on coral reefs at depths of up to 50 meters. Its body is black except for white lines at the base of the second dorsal fin and anal fin.  It looks similar to the pinktail triggerfish, but it can be distinguished by the slightly protruding lobes of the tail fin. It feeds on sea urchins, shellfish and bristle worms.
