Assasi Trigger

The Assasi Triggerfish (Rhinecanthus assasi) is also known as the Arabian Picasso Triggerfish; not to be confused with the Picasso Triggerfish (Rhinecanthus aculeatus), has a beige dorsal section with a white underbelly. It also has blue and black stripes between the eyes, vibrant yellow fins, and black streaks from the mouth to pectoral fin, as well as stripes at the base of the caudal fin. They spend their time in shallow waters and stony reefs searching for invertebrates and crustaceans. They typically feed on worms in the sand, as well as urchins and smaller fish. They reach a maximum size of 11 inches and should be kept with fish of similar size and temperament. They may damage coral, so they are recommended for fish-only systems.
