More about Picasso trigger
The Picasso triggerfish (Rhinecanthus aculeatus), known for its vibrant and colorful appearance, primarily features a mix of blue, yellow, and white hues with distinct, Picasso-like line patterns, giving it its name. Originating from the Indo-Pacific region, this species is characterized by its robust body and unique, dorsal fin 'trigger' mechanism. It is a popular choice among aquarium enthusiasts due to its striking appearance but requires careful consideration in home aquariums due to its potential aggressiveness and specific care needs.
