The reef triggerfish (Rhinecanthus rectangulus), also known as the rectangular triggerfish or by its Hawaiian name humuhumunukunukuāpua{{okina}}a ({{IPA-haw|ˈhumuˈhumuˈnukuˈnukuˈwaːpuˈwɐʔə|pron}}, meaning 'triggerfish with a snout like a pig'[1]), also spelled humuhumunukunukuapua'a or just humuhumu for short, is one of several species of triggerfish. It is found at reefs in the Indo-Pacific[2] and is the state fish of Hawaii.

The name humuhumunukunukuāpua{{okina}}a serves for both singular and plural descriptions. The fish shares its Hawaiian name with the Lagoon triggerfish, another fish that is also found in the Indo-Pacific region.

Description

The triggerfish's teeth and top lip are blue and the teeth are set close together inside its relatively chubby mouth.

The fish has a small second spine, which it can use to lock its main spine into an upright position. Locking its spine while sheltering inside a small crevice makes it difficult for a predator to pull the fish out. When fleeing from predators, the triggerfish will sometimes make grunting noises, possibly a call to warn other nearby triggerfish of danger.[3]

The triggerfish can blow jets of water from its mouth, which help the fish find benthic invertebrates that may be buried under the substrate. Triggerfish can often be seen spitting sand from their mouths in order to sift through the material in search of edible detritus or organisms.

Reef triggers, up to 30 cm in length, are fairly aggressive and will generally not tolerate conspecific individuals in their general vicinity; thus the fish is often found solitary. This is particularly true in captivity. Triggers have the ability to rapidly alter their coloration. They can fade into a relatively drab appearance when sleeping or demonstrating submission, while their coloration is often the most vivid when the fish are healthy and unthreatened by their surroundings. They have also been known to bite and attack swimmers in their area, sometimes leaving marks often on the ankle area.

Hawaii state fish

The reef triggerfish was originally designated the official fish of Hawaii in 1985,[4] but due to an expiration of a Hawaiian state law after five years, it ceased to be the state fish in 1990.[5] On April 17, 2006, bill HB1982 was presented to the Governor of Hawai{{okina}}i, which permanently reinstated the reef triggerfish (humuhumunukunukuapua{{okina}}a) as the state fish of Hawai{{okina}}i.[6] The bill passed into law on May 2, 2006, and was effective upon its approval.[7][8]

Decades prior to official recognition, humuhumunukunukuāpua{{okina}}a were considered a symbol of Hawai'i. The song My Little Grass Shack in Kealakekua, Hawaii includes the line " . . .where the humuhumunukunukuāpua{{okina}}a go swimming by . . ."

In the video games Pokémon Sun and Moon and their sequels Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the main plot takes place in the Alola Region, which is based on the Hawaiian Islands. One of the new Pokémon introduced in these games is Bruxish, which takes its design from the humuhumunukunukuāpua'a.[9]

The desert island setting used in the Looney Tunes episode Wackiki Wabbit was named by Bugs as "Humuhumunukunukuapua'a'a'a {{sic}} Island".
