Best Answer

On averager they are somewhere around 13 inches. but some of been known to grow as long as 2 feet. *another answer* I encountered a titan triggerfish while snorkelling in Sharm El Sheikh Egypt, and it looked to be about half a metre long..I kept away from it as I know they are protective of their habitats, and they have nasty looking teeth :S

What city is the Great Barrier Reef located?

Because the Great Barrier Reef extends for 2000 km up the Queensland coast, there are several cities close to the reef. A large city which is closest to where the reef comes in nearest the coast is Cairns.Townsville is a large city along the coast, but the reef is not as accessible and close to shore from there. The southern end of the Great Barrier Reef is around 75km northwest of the port city of Gladstone.Brisbane is the nearest capital city to the Reef, but it is about 530km from the southern end.Contrary to popular overseas opinion, Sydney is nowhere near the Great Barrier Reef, as it is 930 kilometres south of Brisbane.
