Orange-lined Triggerfish [Balistapus undulatus]
Description
The Orange-lined Triggerfish draws attention with warm orange striping that contrasts beautifully against the reef. Divers often encounter it near coral structures where it forages and patrols, sometimes giving a brief “show” of curiosity before settling back into steady reef cruising.
