got this extremely Rare golden triggerfish and paid premium price for it, and ok with it. However, I have hard time finding the scientific name of this species.
Any help will be appreciated
thanks

Any more information? like where they were collected from? I have a guess but need locale to confirm

 

[Breadman03]

Some time on fishbase and I found at least one possibility-Sufflamen verres or orangesided trigger. Note scientific and common name links.

The additional information I have is it was caught by a diver in Sri Lanka. More photos pending soon.

Check with HumaGuy on the fowlr forums. He is likely to know.

Juvenile goldenback triggerfish would be my first guess

Xanthichthys lineopunctatus ot line spot triggerfish is my second guess

Yeah but the lines radiating from the eyes are not present. Also, I don't think we have yet identified. Let's see if any one can nail this.

Balistes vetula (Queen triggerfish)? these ones have the lines radiating from the eyes and juveniles are usually of yellow/gold color...maybe way off tho... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Juvenile orange side triggerfish

May just have to wait to it shows some transitioning colors. Yes, Ted(humaguy) is a huge trigger guy I’d hit him up if I were you
