    i'm o-fish-aly stumped.

    So i pulled this thing up from one of the close reefs the other day, my first thought was a leather jacket that had gotten into mums makeup draw and gone a little nuts but the shape doesn't seem quite right for the leather. Can any one shed some light on this fancy fish?

    Try chasing them with a fly rod on the sand flats of Kiritimati.

    Clown trigger fish, can be quite aggressive to divers if in a bad mood...been chased but never bitten, which I think is good considering they can munch up coral quite happily!

    X2 what Crunchy said, we used to sell them in the aquarium store I worked for when I was a teenager, a fish that size whould have cost about $200 and that was 40 years ago.
