Trigger Trick - Video

[untamed]

I discovered this trick by accident as I was trying to dissuade my Blue Throat trigger from bothering the Majestic while he was eating. I learned that if you gently push on the side of this trigger fish, his response is the erect his dorsal fin and freeze. Sometimes you can even push him sideways through the water like that.

In this video, I am only just gently holding him against the 'glas and you can see that he makes little effort to move away (until the end). I think it's pretty funny!
