Triggerfish Attack
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 тра 2018
- Unknowingly I got too close to the nest of a titan triggerfish, Balistoides viridescens, and it made the fish really angry. These are big fish with powerful teeth, so I'm glad I managed to escape without any injuries! Dauin, Negros Island, Philippines, filmed with an Olympus TG4.

Wonder what triggered him off?
@@cobusbrits2 touche
Yep
For those who don’t know triggerfish have a bite strong enough to easily disassemble lobsters. So it’s like trying to swim away from a fish sized hole puncher, so it’s way more scary than it seems.
Aren't they poisonous to?

No but eating them might give you ciguatera poisoning

That’s funny because I had the same thing happen to me snorkeling off the Island Moorea .
That little sucker got me with some hard nips to my legs that surprised me at first .
Then it kept coming at me and I had to fend it off for about 10 yards, and then it went back to where it all started. After talking to a local , it turns out the trigger fish can be very territorial.
Yo primo we meet again!
“There are multiple leviathan level life forms in your area. Are you sure what you’re doing is worth it?”
Yea I've seen these around while diving. One of the few things in the ocean that worry me. Kicking away with fins out and going horizontal instead of vertical as the diver did here is the way to go. Triggerfish view their territory as a cone so the cone is narrowest at the bottom near their home and as you go up higher in the water the cone expands out further.
Exactly! there is also a longer explainer video on my channel detailing that, please check it out. The odd thing with this fish was that it kept going after me even though I swam away horizontally.
@@pacificklaus8189 it was just particularly mad at *you* in particular.
Crazy... while snorkelling I saw a titan trigger fish Today in Maldives, he was feeding, i approached him slowly. He gave a good look at me and the. Swam away
They are also called humuhumunukanuka'apa.

@@konnosx1213 " For my lady’s Nation Geographic documentary "
Did anyone else hear this comment as Bane?
I remember going diving in Thailand and they warned us to swim sideways, not up from trigger fish since they basically treated their territory as a cone going up from the floor, so swimming up, or even up and sideways wasn't going to help at all.
True, but in my case here even swimming sideways only calmed the fish down after quite some time.
The look of determination on it's face lol
That fish released its inner shark, only problem was size. His heart was there, I rate the attack a 6/10
Mans gave it his all and you only gave him a 6/10 tuff
*Dude it can be much bigger*
Take it from a wild caught majestic angelfish
Sharks aren't normally aggressive. They are just big and have lots of teeth so they get a bad rap. Cows kill more people than sharks.
@@catiku5969 it was a joke
Description says they're toothy
he wasn’t even hungry or defending anything he was just tryna start something
I guess you could say he was triggered....
If you wanted some fun fish facts, that's actually an adult female and she is protecting her eggs. Pretty cool that fish can have such strong parental responses
@@ashleyjohnson9651 they dare stand up to us humans those mere mortals
Description says otherwise
Looks like nesting behavior probably protecting his bbs
The same thing happened to me a few years ago, I reacted exactly as you and it kept following me a bit longer tough. That was scary. I’m glad you got in on video.
This brings back memories of Koh Tao in 2006. The pistol hand sign pops up in my memory as well as the "swim away with your fins towards the trigger fish" advice from my diving instructor, Van Duffel, who had a big trigger fish related scar on his forehead :) Ahhhh these were the times...
Yes, fins towards the trigger, keeping it in your view, and swimming horizontally, not up. Can still be a bit of a scare.
That legless, armless 3lb fish showed you who's boss. 😂
You've seen their teeth, right? Naaaasty
It’s not like he’s gonna start throwing hands any the fish
They can have a nasty bite 😅
Triggerfish can do some real damage to a human because of their teeth. The reason for the attack was the diver swam through its territory. It was protecting its eggs. He did do the right thing, though. Swimming horizontally takes you out of its territory while swimming upward will only result in the Triggerfish attacking you even more fiercely since its territory goes vertically from the bottom to the surface.
Also, their skin is SUPER tough. Like, when you catch some, and you're cleaning them, you try cutting through it with a knife and you stand there with your jaw on the floor in amazement at how unbelievably hard it is to try to cut through it. Like rawhide leather mixed with Kevlar.
Fish: “sir sir sir! I’m here to talk about your extended car warranty!”
U beat me to it by 6 days
This had me rolling 🤣
Fish world: fish; "just another day @7/11. .".
Lmao!!!
*knock* "have you heard of our lord and savior jesus christ?"
aside from the triggerfish attack, i find it really cool how the turtle has three bottom feeders on its back, coexistence is fun to watch
Yes, remoras/sharksuckers, highly curious fish, they often stick to manta rays or sharks too.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just realized how big a fear I have of being attacked by literally anything underwater.
This is really rare. Usually it's great to scuba dive. Try it for sure!
Exactly what happened to me about 40 years ago in the Red Sea. I was setting up to photograph the male over the nest and he turned and charged just as I clicked the shutter. He never actually made contact, but chased me about 20 yards down the reef. My dive partner found it hilarious.
We are lucky that these fish don't grow to 2 meters, diving would be impossible.

Trigger fish are naturally aggressive. They'll even reach up out of an aquarium tank to bite your hand. Saw a WW2 story about how if it's a school of trigger fish anyone in the water is in a lot of trouble.
Yes, I also had puffer fish, which are related, bite me in my home aquarium.
I read a great story years ago in Tropical Fish Hobbiest called "Charlie The Mean Fish".
A recollection of a Clown Trigger the authors father had when arthur was a kid.
@@rdred8693 Yah the typical trigger for tanks isn't like the ocean big boys. There's big ones. Not to be insulting to the fish but they are real jerks not caring what they bite. The WW2 stats being talked about was certain regions the trigger fish were a bigger threat than a shark.

The way it came after you….you were definitely in its territory. That was funny.
Fun fact trigger "fish" are actually mammals. Not unlike alligators or frogs they have to resurface to get air every 30 seconds or so. This one must have been dieing for air.
Good theory, hehe.
Thanks😂
Imagine something nibbling on your fin, you turn around expecting it to be a small fish and a huge great white is right in front of you.

Triggerfish: TRIGGERED!
But wot triggered him? Wrong pronoun?
@@pacificklaus8189 lol... Probably. As someone else commented, the Triggerfish is the Karen of the seas. Let's just hope it doesn't spread to other sea creatures with bigger, sharper teeth.
See, the problem with these young fish nowadays is they don't know what it feels like to get punched in the face.
With your help we can fix that. For just $5, you can help us punch a fish. And for another $5, we will send you a video of the fish you helped punch.

Fish, like most animals, don't understand that guns are dangerous. you're not going to scare a bear away by just pointing your gun at it anymore than you would scare this crazy fxer away by pointing a speargun at it.
The damn thing wouldn't care trust me I speak from experience minus the harpoon I just know even if a fish could understand what that meant... A triggerfish response would be “so it's nearly an even fight then goooood”

@@mwoantwan3871 this question has some mixed answers for me. Yes, they can cause serious bites and gashes to equipment and yourself. And no, they don’t eat humans and they only attack as a defensive tactic to keep predators away from their nests.

We have this less than 100 mm long cave fish called a "Bug-eyed Big-eye" which feeds during the night at the waters edge, especially around the mouths of estuaries. During the day, you can find schools often as many as 30 strong, hanging near the ceiling in caves, about 20 feet below low water.
NORMALLY they are chill, and when you go poke your head in the cave looking for crayfish, they just dance around a bit, don't even seem frightened of you.
But one time, skin-diving with just a mask and flippers, I put my head into a cave about as big as an airline toilet, reached out for a crayfish, and what seemed to be ALL the Bug-eye Big-eyes in the world just bit my face, arm, ears, and lips, all at once.
It gave me such a fright, I was lucky to make it back to the surface because I cracked my head on the rock backing out of the cave. I had about a dozen little bleeding bite marks on my face, they meant business !. And it was the same thing, they lay their eggs communally, and all protect them.
Where is this? Do you know the scientific name of that fish?
It was Great Barrier Island, New Zealand, where I did most of my diving/fishing/living as a young man. Whangaparapara, to be exact.
I think it is Pempheris adspersa but the picture of it I can find is both a different colour, and a slightly different shape.
Which of course might mean nothing more than my memory being faulty.
I saw them at depth in caves with a torch, or at night with a torch for just a few seconds at the shoreline, where they were of course feeding under the surface.
That is how I first got to learn their name, I had seen them while diving, probably everyone does. But you see so many different fish. We had been fishing, came back on a still night, were putting the boat away and I turned the torch on the out-flow of a creek as it spilled out of a culvert, and the pool was full of them.
I said "What is this one?" and my nephew, who is now a Dr of Biology and works for a Marine Institute took one look and reeled off all sorts of information. @@pacificklaus8189
