Interesting fish. Anybody know anything about it? Other than the obvious that it is closely related to Bluejaw and Crosshatch and even Sargassum from the other Ocean.

Found this on GBD.

Wow awesome looking trigger.. but my wife would hang me from the gallows if I spent $800 on a fish!

They had one a while back as unidentified trigger, at least I think it was the same fish although this one is even nicer looking, just cannot justify that price tag but very awesome fish.

Wow.... $800 is crazy!! He is an awesome looking trigger though.

Here is one for $400 from a very reputable place. They also carry the only full barred captive bred Latz clownfish:

Funny, the $400 fish is bigger and seems healthier than the $800 fish. I would buy this trigger, but the white spots scare me. Looks too big for Marine Ich and Diver's Den is not suppose to have sick fish.

I wonder if it would really look as white as it is. The one in the second pic looks brown. Awesome fish though!

yeah i have my doubts if it looks that white in person. nice looking fish if it does.

Haha, agreed...They do some pretty snazzy photography at Diver's Den.

In my experience (over 10 DD fish and a few corals) everything looks exactly like they say it will, but only under the lighting that they describe.

yea, I have yet to be misled on anything from DD. But damn I wish I had their photography skills.

From what my Photog buddies have told me, it looks like they take their photos with a Macro Lens, with flash, and at an angle to the glass.
