Role WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
Clown triggerfish reach 50 centimetres. Large white spots on a dark background, a yellow patterned upper back and orange lips form a distinctive combination. The first dorsal spine can remain erect through a locking mechanism.WHERE DOES IT LIVE?
Found in the tropical Indo-Pacific, including the Maldives, it inhabits reefs and slopes. Rocky refuges complement bottom food resources. Its broad distribution must be distinguished from the places where Dive.Explo360 has filmed it.WHAT DOES IT EAT?
The documented diet includes varied benthic invertebrates: crustaceans, molluscs, sea urchins and tunicates. These categories describe its role without automatically assigning a feeding link to every species in our guides.GO FURTHER WITH AMIGANSEAU
