Sipadan:What kind of fish is this ???

[LULA]

Hi all !!

I recently went to sipadan and on one of the dives a crazy pissed off fish attacked the whole group biting our fins,cameras and my leg.The fish was black with 20/25 cm and he had huge white teeth.The fish probably had its nest nearby.If someone can tell me the name of the fish I would appreciate.

Thanks

Was it a Titan triggerfish? They are notorious for attacking divers.

Yes, I was attacked twice at Balicasag Island here last week by Titans...

are baby titans all black? adult titans that aggressively defend their territory and much larger and would not be called "all black" unless the viewer is watching on a really old TV.

Maybe it was a baby Megalodon?

MEGALODON!!! WAHAHAHAHA good one!

All black, four huge sharp white teeth , 20/25 cm and very agresive to diver

Any more clue ?

Was this at South Point at around 5-10m depth? In that case you've met Evil Eddie, he is some sort of wrasse, dont know what kind exactly. And he is more psycho than most trigger fish. Funny little fellow, haven't heard of anyone getting really injured by him though.
