Rectangle
Triggerfish

Rhinecanthus
rectangularis

The Belted
Triggerfish or Rectangle Triggerfish is easily confused
with the Picasso Fish. The Belted Triggerfish has a black
caudal peduncle and a broader black band running from the
eyes through, the pectorals, to the anal fin. Be
forewarned: the two look-alikes are not compatible! They
will fight, with one grabbing the other by a pectoral fin
and dragging the fish by it.
They grow to 8
inches and require a tank of at least 100 gallons. Care
is similar to other triggerfish species.
