Daily fish fact #850
Wedgetail triggerfish!
Its eyes can move independently of each other! Like other triggerfish, it hunts by blowing jets of water from its mouth at the seafloor, aiming to uncover hiding invertebrate prey.

Fish of the Day
Today's fish of the day is the reef triggerfish!
The Reef Triggerfish, also known by Hawiian name humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa, and scientific name Rhinecanthus rectangulus, is known for its prevalence across the indo-pacific, and for being Hawaii's state fish! Their range stretches from the Hawiian islands to the Eastern Philippines,Northern Australia, Indian ocean, small sections of the red sea, and the mediterranean. This fish lives its life out along reefs and other sea shelves, as their hunting style consists mostly of digging in the sand and rocks for prey, similar to pigs digging for truffles. Their diet consists of reef invertebrates, algae, small crabs, sea urchins, and other benthic animals. This diet can support them to sizes of 10-12 inches, which is the smaller range for triggerfishes.
These fish, like many other triggerfish, gain their name from their ability to fire and aim jets of water, which it will also use to hunt and find prey beneath the surface. They also will use this against other fish and larger beings in their territory, as reef triggerfishes are intensely territorial, and solitary other than in breeding season. This can manifest in cases where reef triggerfish chase and bite humans viewing reefs. When met with predators, the reef triggerfish, similar to other triggerfish, finds small holes within rocks or corals that it will lodge itself within. The first dorsal spine will act as a physical barrier that can lock in an upright position, making it harder for predators to pry it out of their safe havens. Due to the shape of their spines and fins, these fish can swim forward, backward, and hover in the water.
Like most fishes, reef triggerfish have a breeding season from April-August, and classically have females lay eggs and males fertilize in groups. This being the one of the only times they interact with other of their species intentionally. Then after this, a female will build a nest, and wait with eggs until a few weeks after they hatch, at which point the fish will set out independently. Reef triggerfish can also change coloration, turning a more vibrant shade for breeding seasons. They will also present vibrantly when healthy, sexually mature, and unthreatened. They can also change colors to better match an environment around them, and do so nightly when they settle into holes to rest.
Have a wonderful day, everyone!

🐠 Daily Fish Fact: 🐠
Lagoon Triggerfish moves through the water by using waving motions in its dorsal and anal fins, allowing it to move more precisely. Using these movements, it can move forwards, backwards or simply hover in place above the reef. This means that it can more easily back out of crevices than other unidirectional fish.

Daily fish fact #777
Ocean triggerfish!
It often likes to hang around Sargassum seaweeds. Like other species of triggerfish, the ocean triggerfish straightens out its first two dorsal fin spines to anchor itself tightly to crevices and to deter any would-be predators.

𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘂𝗹!
This is literally the only known Bruxish merch to ever exist, at least it got a plush made by Olyfactory, but I wish that there more merch to the MOST HATED Pokémon from the Gen 7 era, despite the fact it was made to be marketed as "pretty but very ugly" in the first place.
Am I the only one who truly cares and feels bad about this mon? Because it really deserves both a pre and final evolution with better stats to give this mon some justice!
