Clown Triggerfish
Did you know?
The Clown Triggerfish is known for its striking colouring. It has a dark brown to black body with white spots and yellow markings that give it a unique, almost artistic appearance. This striking appearance serves as camouflage in the coral reefs where it lives.
This Clown Triggerfish is known for its aggressive behaviour, especially when guarding its territory or fry. It can be very territorial and even attack divers if it feels threatened. Its strong teeth and jaws allow it to bite through coral and even hard shells of crustaceans and molluscs.
The females lay their eggs in shallow depressions in the sand or on the reef floor. After spawning, they guard the eggs very aggressively to protect them from predators. However, this care often ends abruptly as they provide no further parental care after the fry hatch.
