It is the Trigger fish also known as the Humu Humu Nuku Nuku Apu'a a - the state fish of Hawaii.
when translated it is some thing like 'the tiger fish with the nose like a pig' and yes it is the state fish. i do not believe they are protected though because i saw one in an aquarium at a resteraunt when i went there last.
