Description

Balistes vetula, commonly known as the Queen triggerfish, is a beautiful large triggerfish. It has a very variable color, with greenish to blueish on the back and orange, yellow or pink on the belly. The fins and head have very bright blue stripes on them, which make it remind of a H. ciliaris. Combined with the triggerfish shape and graceful swimming, this is a very attractive fish!

Remember it isn't reef safe though! It's main diet are sea urchins. It blows water to them to overturn them and then attacks them where the spines are shortest. It can also be agressive to other fishes, so make sure you pick the other fishes with care!
