A young queen - a photo on Flickriver

A young queen

A juvenile queen triggerfish (Balistes vetula). This one is probably about 2-3cm from head to tail. Small, but not as small as an earlier find (posted here). Nevertheless, they are a rare find, so it was a thrill. No luck getting a sandy background, but the clean blue will do.

Queen triggerfish grow up to be some of the most beautiful and impressive fish on the reef. As adults their fins become more dramatic and their coloration is stunning. But like with most creatures, small is cute.
