REMARKS

Triggerfish derive their name from a stout first dorsal spine which can be locked into position by a small second spine (the trigger).

This trigger apparatus is used by the fish to wedge themselves into coral crevices at night.

These fish are also characterised by leathery skin and a small mouth with powerful, crushing jaws.

How do Fish See
Fish have eyes very similar to a human, but not all have excellent colour vision. Shallow water fish, especially tropical fish, can see a broad spectrum of colours, however deep water fish are usually quite limited. Fish's eyes are positioned to allow excellent all round viewing, but some have their eyes on top of their heads, as they have a bottom dwelling existence.
