Titan triggerfish near Grande Baie, Mauritius. These fish scare the crap out of me. I was once chased by one protecting it's eggs.

Awesome pic! I got nipped by one while snorkeling in Hawaii. Feisty fuckers lol. Beautiful fish though!

Yes they have a really cool color pattern. I guess its an easy to read warning because you cannot confuse them with any other fish.

triggers scare the shit out of me. we'd feed goldfish to one we had at the pet store i used to work at, you could hear its jaws snapping shut through the wall of the tank in the open air in a loud and busy pet store

Yeah not exactly a cuddly type of pet.

They're also very aggressive in Dave the Diver! Cool picture

Yeah they can be aggressive. I think they only do it when its breeding season.
