Undulate Triggerfish

Balistapus undulatus

The Undulate Triggerfish sports a bold green body crossed with bright orange wavy stripes and lines, making it one of the most vividly patterned triggerfish. It is also one of the most aggressive members of the family and should be housed alone or only with very robust, similarly-sized fish. This species will destroy reef invertebrates and corals — handle with care.
