The stone triggerfish (Pseudobalistes naufragium) is the largest species of triggerfish.
It is found at reefs and over sandy bottoms in the eastern Pacific, ranging from Baja California (Mexico) to Chile. [1]
It can reach 1 metre (3.3 ft) in length but is more common at about half that size. [1] Covered entirely with platelike scales aside from one scaleless area behind the jaws. The stone triggerfish has 16 strong protruding teeth with 8 held in each jaw.
Pseudobalistes naufragium feeds on small crustaceans, mollusks, and sea urchins.
Triggerfish are about 40 species of often brightly colored fish of the family Balistidae. Often marked by lines and spots, they inhabit tropical and subtropical oceans throughout the world, with the greatest species richness in the Indo-Pacific. Most are found in relatively shallow, coastal habitats, especially at coral reefs, but a few, such as the oceanic triggerfish, are pelagic. While several species from this family are popular in the marine aquarium trade, they are often notoriously ill-tempered.
