Triggerfish Youth T-Shirt

A triggerfish at Cala Santa Galdana on the south coast of Menorca, Spain. The triggerfish was about the size of a large dinner plate in height and about half as much again in length.

The encounter lasted for about 10 minutes in total and fortunately I ended up with all my fingers intact. This was the parting shot as I managed to back away from it.
