Rhinecanthus aculeatus has many common names: blackbar triggerfish, lagoon triggerfish, Jamal, and Picassofish. It also has a nickname: humuhumu, from the Hawaiian humuhumunukunukuapua'a for triggerfish with a snout like a pig. Whatever the name, it's found in coral reefs where it eats whatever passes by: worms, small fish, sea urchins, crustaceans, and coral. It's an energetic swimmer, and aggressive defender of eggs and living space.
