      Because they have guns! Just kidding. They have a unique dorsal fin structure involving two spines, which allows them to secure themselves into tight spaces.

      Perhaps with reason. I’ve seen these fish nibbling on an overturned urchin.

         I was sure I saw a doco where Trigger Fish and Parrot Fish were eating Urchins

            A lot of things will eat them – once they’re turned over!
