Stuffed and re-colored triggerfish in black reliquary
PU681-21
A gradient of blues, in this reliquary with domed glass. And this beautiful fish can be seen on all the coral reefs around the globe, in which it digs holes with the help of its solid teeth, to stay. The black Ballist - Melichthys niger- is actually very dark blue, with two basal white lines that highlight its dorsal and anal fins. it lives in small groups and is quite difficult to approach. Except in this reliquary, of course.
