Blue Triggerfish

Swim, Snorkel, Dive, See, Meet, Watch the Blue Triggerfish

The Red-toothed triggerfish swims in large schools near the outer reef slopes and channels, between five and forty meters deep, in established currents. As soon as it feels threatened, it approaches the reef. During the night, it takes refuge in faults. Its eyes orient themselves independently of each other.

Food

The Red-toothed triggerfish feeds on plankton as well as sometimes on sponges found on the reef.

Breeding

The red-toothed triggerfish is an oviparous species. The males dig crater-shaped nests in which the females lay their eggs. They take turns to ventilate the egg-laying and defend the nest with virulence. The juveniles take refuge in reef crevices. When they are in the hole, triggerfish raise their spine and lock it in a vertical position, hence their name triggerfish.
