Its a Titan Trigger Fish. They are very territorial. Especially when nesting. I have had more that my fair share of these fish chasing me in the Maldives.

In general only when they nesting and you are crossing their nesting area.

According to locals this trigger fish are only aggressive when they are guarding their nest. Just turn back and they will leave you as soon as you are out of their NDZ (Nest Defense Zone).

Well they were trespassing on his property. 🤣

This reminded me of the guy who got free access to our reef and daily free lunches from our resort by claiming to be marine biologist doing marine research. One day I found him looking for our General manager, demanding that there is a crazy fish that must be gotten rid of. He was bitten in both ears. I just told him that it's a mating Titan trigger fish guarding it's territory. He never came back to do marine research. I guess the fish really scared the shit out of him. Just like experts on MSM, this marine expert doesn't have clue about marine life.

Lol 😂 Got that right

Imagine having to punch a fish with a camera. Lmao. But in a severity you guys are lucky! Glad everyone was safe at the end.

Makes me wonder if this is the fish Nintendo got the inspiration for cheep cheep in Super Mario World.

Hardly, I mean Cheep Cheeps are kind of calm, they just jump out of water, I mean compare their faces with the Titan Tiger 😂

Damn, they sure are feisty little critters

Oooh, the trigger fish nearly got the last laugh there.

This happened to my partner a few days ago 😂 it freaked him out haha

I was nipped on the finger by a Picasso Trigger in Mauritius. It had decided to make camp in the swim zone. Swimming close to the fish, it kept coming at me and swimming away at the last second. As we finally decided to leave it alone, it gave me a good riddance tap on the finger. No harm done to myself nor the Rhinecanthus aculeatus. I'm still a touch sad for not having my camera at all times in the water. It was a perfect moment with that fish.

Clearly this trigger fish was… TRIGGERED!

Was about five feet from one last week while snorkeling in The Mamnucas, Fiji. Luckily it was too busy chomping on coral to take any notice of me.

I have had no problem with them at all. Only in their nesting time they can act like this

Ok everybody back in the boat!! The little buggers are aggressive and determined. Think I’ll skip the Maldives!

No need to skip. They are in every coral reef. If they are not in nesting time and you not cross their nest in that time, they are harmless. Ask at best in advance if they are nesting time.

Normally they are a shy fish and difficult spot unless when they are guarding their territory during nesting. I used to go snorkeling often and never came across this Titan trigger fish. But I've caught a couple fishing off shore.

Trigger fish are amazing, one of my favorites. Good footage.

I e been snorkeling in the Maldives so far only their friends the piccasso has been aggressive with me, I saw a huge titan and he was fine thankfully kinda scary !!

Man these things are cold

They have big bucky teeth for sure. Caught one off of Baja California a bunch of years ago.

He moved you along.

Got chased by one of these today bro they are scary

The same happened to me today lol 😂

SMACK I!

More dangerous than a Great White, Tiger or Bull Shark 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💋💋💋 he only wanted to give you a kiss 😂😂

So scary.

Haha he really took a disliking to you didn't he!

Attacked me twice today in the Maldives very close to the shore (Summer Island Beach Resort)

It makes me pain my knee

Wonder why it was acting like that?

Franchement con de le provoquer comme ça pour un vidéo. Vous n avez jamais été mordu manifestement

Well why don t you get the message and leave this fish's area? You are provoking these attacks.

Mais il tatac pas

Das Ist Papagayfisch

It needs to be eaten.

Well, next time don't enter the animals home. He's just reacting just like any other animal would, next time leave it alone

I kinda wish our (Finescale) triggers here were that aggressive. Would making spearing them soooo much easier. Ours are shy AF, but taste so dang good.

It seems a gay fish to me

Put a spear in it

Pretty sure if I came into your home and waved a camera in your face with the deliberate goal of eliciting a reaction, you’d act like just as much, if not more of, a brat than this trigger fish. #fishlove #fishsticks
