Leopard Triggerfish taxidermy in observation frame
PU1204
Native to the tropical reefs of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, the leopard triggerfish (Balistoides conspicillum) captivates with its white polka dots on a black background, highlighted by vivid yellow accents. Its hypnotic patterns evoke the works of Yayoi Kusama or a bold, contemporary textile design. Territorial and solitary, this fish uses its robust body to navigate coral reefs with precision....And this particular one could be seen in the famous aquarium of Genova in Italy, where it died in 2022. Taxidermy of fishes requires to paint their colors back, as they loose them as soon as they die. But you can check, he was that bright!
