Pinktail Triggerfish (Melichthys vidua) – This striking triggerfish is easily recognized by its deep greenish-black body, contrasting with its vibrant pink tail. Found in lagoons and outer reef slopes across the Indo-Pacific, it is a strong swimmer, often navigating currents with ease. Unlike some triggerfish species, it is relatively peaceful but still highly territorial. Pinktail Triggerfish feed on a varied diet of algae, small invertebrates, and plankton. Their powerful jaws and tough teeth allow them to crush hard-shelled prey like crabs and sea urchins. Their bold colors and active behavior make them a fascinating species to observe on the reef.

Species #004! A first species to be photographed at each location I've dove so far!

Triggerfish (Balistes capriscus) seem to get badly caught out during Autumn and early Winter storms. This is the second one I found thrown up above the tideline after storm Darragh had rolled through.

In the last few years some awesome African productions have been released by Netflix and Disney, and if you want to see some great works from African studios and artists I can really recommend them:

Iwájú by Kugali, on Disney+ - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iw%C3%A1

Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire by Triggerfish on Disney+ - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kizazi_M

If you can, watch them in English.

Thought this beauty - washed into the shallows with the high tide - was dead until it flapped a fin. Took it out into deeper water, let it go and hoped for the best.
