Wikipedia
Triggerfish
Triggerfish are about 40 species of often brightly colored fish of the family Balistidae. Often marked by lines and spots, they inhabit tropical and subtropical oceans throughout the world, with the greatest species richness in the Indo-Pacific. Most are found in relatively shallow, coastal habitats, especially at coral reefs, but a few, such as the oceanic triggerfish (Canthidermis maculata), are pelagic. While several species from this family are popular in the marine aquarium trade, they are often notoriously ill-tempered.
ChatGPT
triggerfish
Triggerfish are tropical, marine fish often found in the coral reefs. They are named after the characteristic feature of having two dorsal spines, where the first can be set rigidly upright by the second or 'trigger' spine, aiding in protecting them against potential predators. They are usually brightly colored, and known for their unique swimming style, intelligence, and in some species, their aggressive behavior.
