Triggerfishes have a very characteristic way of swimming, propelling themselves through the water using waving motions of the broadened dorsal (top) and anal (bottom) fins.
When threatened, a triggerfish dives into a hole or crevice in the reef and wedges itself into the shelter by erecting the large dorsal spine on the head.
The fl triggerfish, for example, is often found 15 to 30 feet (4.5-9 m) above the bottom, plucking food from the water along with the schools of plankton- feeding butterflyfishes and others.
