The Niger Triggerfish (Odonus niger), also known as the Red Tooth Triggerfish, is a captivating marine species renowned for its torpedo-shaped body shifting between deep blue, purple, and green hues alongside its signature fluorescent red teeth. Highly active and resilient, this open-water swimmer brings continuous energy and movement to large marine aquariums.
