So I was taking pics of all my fish in the tank.
When I put my finger in the water they all come to it like I am feeding them.
WELL the trigger thought my finger was food.
I pulled my finger out too fast and he scratched his poor little nose on the tank. :(
He's fine no worse for the wear. I can't as much for my finger.
I just so happened to get the crime in progress

Oh he has a taste for you now. Every time you put your hand in there you better have back up. Because ol trigger is out to get you now.
 
Man, this reminds me of when I had a Hawaiian black trigger that bit me. I was working in the tank and then I felt something like I was being electrocuted in my finger! Thats how it felt. I never forgot that feeling. It was a strange feeling and it took me a few minute to figure out just where it came from.
I was alway cautious after that in the tank. Bled like a mother for a while too!
 
Ouch!!! I've seen Queen Trigger fish (Turbits) here completely bite hooks in half when you get them in the boat. You are lucky that's all that happened!!
 
I don't dare put my finger in the tank as my pinktail trigger is big, hungry and FAST.
