Fishy has Red Teeth

We’re meeting one of our favorite fish of the reef today! They are funny and crazy and yes- they have a red tooth.

REDTOOTHED TRIGGERFISH: 

• These blue- purple flat oval shaped fish our found in Indo-Pacific coral reefs.
• They have tiny sharp red teeth.
• Redtoothed triggerfish make grunt noises.
• They can change their color depending on their mood, food or the quality of the water.
• These cute fish use their dorsal and tail fins to swim. It is a very unusual swim style.
• They mostly eat plankton, but are known to eat sponges, small fish and squid.
• Females lay their eggs and guard the nest before they hatch.

We just love these funny fish and their little red teeth and cool swimming style! How about you?
