The life cycle of a reef triggerfish begins with the spawning of eggs, which are typically laid in sandy areas near coral reefs. The fertilized eggs hatch into larvae that drift in the ocean currents for several weeks before settling on the reef. Once they settle, the juvenile triggerfish grow and develop their characteristic features while feeding on small invertebrates and algae. As they mature, they establish territories and become more aggressive, eventually reaching adulthood and continuing the cycle by spawning.
