Niger Triggerfish - "Odonus niger" I think (or something similar). I used to always be slightly amused at people that kept them in aquariums and then wondered where all their coral (and then fish) disappeared to as they grew bigger.

Yellowspotted Triggerfish - Pseudobalistes fuscesYellowspotted Triggerfish are heavy bodied grey to brown with a network of yellow to orange spots. The pectoral, soft dorsal, anal and caudal fins are dark with pale white to blue margins. The caudal fins of adult fish have pointed lobes. There is a deep groove in front of the eyes and shallow horizontal grooves on the cheeks.
Yellowspotted Triggerfish grow to 65cms in length.
They are average eating.
In Australia, Yellowspotted Triggerfish are found from Ningaloo Reef Western Australia and the north Great Barrier Reef to southern New South Wales.
