Description: Humu Humu (Picasso) Triggerfish are found in the Indo-Pacific: southern Red Sea to southern Africa and east to the Hawaiian, Marquesan, and Tuamoto islands, north to southern Japan, and south to Lord Howe Island. Humu Humu Triggerfish features a wacky, painted appearance. They exhibit striking coloration with yellow, blue and black lines on a white body. To maintain a peaceful tank that houses triggerfish, be sure to provide lots of room and caves or rocks for a retreat area. Also house appropriate fish together that have similar needs and can hold their own. They are a territorial fish.
