So I promised a suitably halloweeny Fish Of The Week and so I present....

This guy.

He's a redtooth or Vampire Triggerfish, so called cos he has these little red fangs. I love how these fish names are so original!

I love this picture too cos of the way he's just chilling out on the rocks. There was another one lying horizontally but he ran away when I went back for my phone.
They have these long frondy tails and are a deep velvetty blue colour and skid about the tanks like a maniac bat.
Trigger fish are pretty awesome, you cant really see it on this pic but they have this little lump in front of their dorsal fin which is their concealed trigger, when they're stressed or feel threatened they shoot this trigger or spine up and make themselves look bigger and more aggressive or if they're really spooked they dive into little holes for protection, pop up their trigger and wedge themselves firmly into the rocks so they cant be pulled out.

He also has a buddy, a Picasso Triggerfish, which we call Pablo (funny that!)



You can just make out his concealed trigger there, just in front of his fin.
