Rhinecanthus rectangulus

Rhinecanthus rectangulus, commonly known as the Wedge-tail triggerfish, is a medium-large, easily recognized triggerfish. The most notable feature from this fish is off course the tilted V outlined with irredescent lines and black on the underside and just in front of the caudal fin. Combined with the unusual triggerfish shape and large head, a lot of people are attracted to this fish. A quite common fish at the edges of the reefs.

Remember it isn't reef safe though! It's an omnivore feeding on almost anything like algae, detritus, mollusks, crustaceans, worms, echinoderms, fishes, sponges, foraminiferans and eggs. Corals might also be damaged so be careful when placing this fish in a reef tank. It can also be agressive to other fishes, so make sure you pick the other fishes with care!
