Clown triggerfish

The clown triggerfish (Balistoides conspicillum), also known as the bigspotted triggerfish, is a demersal marine fish.
This fish belongs to the order Tetraodontiformes, which includes pufferfish. Tetraodontiformes are typically found in temperate seas around the world. Fish that belong to this order usually have small temperate mouths.
The family, Balistidae, which is commonly called triggerfish. Currently there are about 37 Balistidae species. This family of fish are very different than other Tetraodontiformes. Unlike the other Tetraodontiformes, their body shape is compressed, with easy to spot scales. Triggerfish have not comprehensively been reviewed enough to have a complete description of them.

The clown triggerfish is widely distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indian Ocean and in the western Pacific Ocean. These fish typically like being around similarly colored areas such as reefs and coral reefs that have steep drop offs nearby. These environments provide suitable habitats for them, including mating and hiding.

A single record was reported in the Mediterranean Sea in Spanish waters in 2012, a likely aquarium release. It is most commonly found along external reef slopes with clear water until 75 m depth. Juveniles are usually staying below 20 m sheltered close to caves or overhangs.
The clown triggerfish has also been documented in the Israeli Red Sea. This was also most likely due to an aquarium release.
