Blue triggerfish (Pseudobalistes fuscus), Nosy Antanimora, Madagascar. This species is a reef-associated species as it prefers coastal waters, shallow lagoons and seaward reefs, at 30–50 metres (98–164 ft) of depth and widespread in the Tropical Indo-Pacific, from the Red Sea to South Africa, Society Islands, southern Japan, Australia and New Caledonia. This fish can reach a length of 55 centimetres (22 in) and is known for its aggressiveness and many divers choose to stay away from them, as they bite often. This triggerfish, like most other triggerfish, eats shellfish, small crustaceans, and other bottom-dwelling invertebrae.
