Odonus [Odonus]
Description
Odonus triggerfish are reef-associated fish that divers may encounter cruising in clear water near coral and rocky habitats. Their behavior is often alert and curious—pause, scan, then move on—making them a memorable sight for anyone watching the reef’s “busy” mid-level lanes.
