The Humu Rectangle Triggerfish is Hawaii's state fish (Humuhumunukunukuapuaa). This fish is aggressive and should be housed in a larger tank with ample rockwork. The Humu Humu gets its name from the "pig-like" grunting noise it makes. They may also move rocks around the tank. They are distinguished by their white body with blck and blue stripes marking the eyes. Meary foods are a must!
