Awesome triggers Bionek. Unfortunately you have a Melicthys Indicus or Black Durgeon not a Melicthys Niger (Black Hawaiian).
Still a great fish.

Beat me to it....That would be something to see a Black Hawaiian that small....Awesome fish, are they going in the big Hex tank? Thought you had a Pink in there.

Yes they are both going in the HEX as soon as the marine velvet dies in there. My last pinktail unfortunately died from it so this one is the new one. Oh and I thought the black durgeon and hawaiian were the same fish. What's the difference between the two? I think maybe one's from the indian Ocean and the other pacific but not sure. The site that I bought it from shows Melicthys Niger(black hawaiian trigger). Did I get ripped off?

Some light reading for you from wetwebmedia about the differences. Slight color difference, Hawaiian gets much bigger, and of course origin.

Yours kind of has that "olive" tint to it, the Hawaiian are fully black.
