On my last swim, I saw this Wedgetail Triggerfish slip into this crevice in the rocks. I thought it might have disappeared, but there it was, wedged in, side on. It might have been protecting eggs laid in there or just waiting for me to move on!
This fish is also known as the Picasso Triggerfish. In Hawaiian, it’s called humuhumu-nukunuku-ā-pua-a and it’s the official state fish.

Amazing ability to get in that tight spot. I really like it’s colours and wonder what the translation of its Hawaiian name is.

The Hawaiian name translates to ‘nose like a pig!’ Apparently the fish will also grunt like a pig if threatened.

I guessed Triggerfish when I saw the photo. Maybe as you say, egg protecting in such a tight squeeze. Great Last Photo. Thanks for joining in Graham 🙂 🙂
