The Blue-throated Triggerfish, also called the Gilded Triggerfish, is native to many island coasts and reefs of the Indo-Pacific.

Males have blue throats and yellow-bordered fins. Females look similar without the blue throat and yellow-edged fins. They can lighten and darken their body colour.

Maximum length is 25cm. (Another fish is also called the Bluethroat Triggerfish, Sufflamen albicaudatum, a very different-looking fish of the western Indian Ocean.)

The Crosshatch Triggerfish, sometimes called the Redtail and even the Bluethroat Triggerfish, is native to outer reef slopes of the Pacific. Males have a red-edged tail and yellow-edged dorsal and anal fins. The female has orange-edged dorsal and anal fins and an orange-edged or yellow-edged tail. They grow to just under 30cm.
