Queen Triggerfish are a beautiful fish found throughout the Atlantic, usually associated with coral reefs and rocky bottoms. The "trigger" of this fish is actually a dorsal spine which they can use to lock themselves into crevices to avoid predators. These are delicious fish that are prized by commercial and recreational fishermen.
