thnx It was sort of creepy

If you accidently knock off a lobster's leg while catching it, these triggers will descend on and consume that leg in a heartbeat. I've had the triggers follow me while I was hunting for bugs: it is creepy!

I don't recall the queen triggers being aggressive in Cozumel

I was bitten by a gray triggerfish while diving off Boynton, right in my SMB (ouch) !! He stalked us for a while, was very aggressive and then finally took a chunk from the SMB. I admit it startled me a bit. Later it was explained that they are very territorial?! I was the only female diver, perhaps she felt I was competition! In any case, my heart rate accelerates every time I see one now.

Much more common then I thought. I will keep my eye out for that one now:boxing:
