You type in Picasso that fish shows up as does the humu humu picasso. I also get this other Trigger looks a lot like the humu humu but has more black and some places (wikipedia) are calling that both a humu humu and a lagoon trigger.
some more "True" Picasso

Almost looks like a cross between a Huma and a Bursa.

These are all Assasi Triggers, they come from the Red Sea.......Rhinecanthus assasi....The first picture is interesting, that picture must be a very young one.

This is a Lei Triggerfish.....Sufflaman Bursa, they are found in Hawaii.....Typically around $100, not very common.
The Hawaiians actually consider this first guy the Picasso Triggerfish (Rhinecanthus rectangulus) and it is the state fish of Hawaii......The second one that we typically think of as the Picasso, they call the Lagoon Trigger (Rhinecanthus aculeatus).
+1 with everything KJR said. Spend some time and research the different species of Rhinecanthus triggers. You probably could find a good deal for a mismarked one. Or that Sufflamen Tara posted. I have a large Lei. He ate a chromis in QT, but now in an aggressive setting with a Lunare, Yellow Tang, Southern Puffer, and Half Black Angel, really starting to come around.

They are all beautiful though. Especially the ones you have pictured kjr_trig!
Not when a Rhinecanthus lunula typically sells for over $500!

WOW, this is why its great being in oz we get these guys much MUCH cheeper
Ever since someone discovered an endless supply of the cute little Humas (that turn into real triggers) you see in every LFS; this whole genus seems to be constantly confusing.
