Rhinecanthus verrucosus
Many thanks to LauraMaria for the identification.
No problem! Triggerfish are a little tricky since there are actually about 12 different genera in the family, but all have very similar shapes!
Oh man! I thought I got it. They look so similar. Anyway, thank you! Many times over. :)
You're close with this one, Dani! It is a kind of triggerfish, it's in a different genus to Balistapus. It's called a blackbelly triggerfish, Rhinecanthus verrucosus :) You've spotted some great stuff, I'm really excited to see what you post next haha!
