A medium-range aggressive and territorial Triggerfish. Some have said it peaceful, and amicable, while others claim it's aggressive and territorial. While definitely not as aggressive as the Undulated Triggerfish, or the Queen Triggerfish, it most definitely more aggressive than, for example a Crosshatch Triggerfish or a Sargassum Triggerfish.
