Titan trigger who bit me twice

This titan triggerfish is here deliberately posted because it had bitten me twice after I took this photo shot.
The triggerfish are very special species, because they defend their nest against everyone and against everything. They can reach a size of up to 80 cm.
Its aggressiveness is one reason for this fish itself in the habitat in his territory, where he protects his nest, to keep at a distance.
There are about 43 species of triggerfish, the clown-triggerfish is one of the most beautiful and less aggressive. The titan triggerfish as is shown here on the photo is very aggressive, but usually it bites us divers only in the fins.
A triggerfish in the waters of Koh Phi Phi south Thailand gained international fame that T-shirts already were being sold, which says
"I survived Jack the Trigger".

Hallo Wolfgang, ich hoffe, Du hattest ein paar schoene Tauchgaenge - den Fotos nach zu urteilen. Es erschreckt mich , wie kaputt die Korallen auch hier sind. LG Marlis

  danke Marlis, ich hatte bisher 390 meist schöne Tauchgänge. Die Korallenwelt unter Wasser ist in Thailand noch ganz ok und noch unverbleicht, aber unachtsamer Ankerwurf oder Rowdies, die Korallen abbrechen sind überall ein Problem. Abgestorbene Korallenreste wie auf dem Foto sind überall verbreitet zu finden. Gruß Wolfgang
