More about Assasi trigger
The Assasi triggerfish (Rhinecanthus assasi) is recognized by its vivid coloration, combining shades of blue, yellow, and black. Originating from the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, its distinctive appearance includes a robust, laterally compressed body and a prominent dorsal spine. While showcasing striking looks, the Assasi triggerfish is not among the most famous species in the aquarium hobby, likely due to its size and aggressive demeanor, making it a less common choice for casual aquarists.
