The titan triggerfish is a large Indo-Pacific reef fish. Distinct scales with an olive-yellow pattern cover its substantial body, and dark margins edge its fins. Strong jaws and teeth break hard substrate elements and prey coverings.
It eats sea urchins, crustaceans, molluscs, polychaete worms and also corals. During breeding the female guards the nest and may vigorously repel approaching animals. Such defence is particularly evident while caring for eggs.
