Trigger attacks Manta Ray

So here is a clip shot by my wife of a trigger fish harassing a manta at a cleaning station. Watch the tail.

Wow this Manta is verry pregnant!

Ha Ha...

Lovely little piece..The trigger fish was great.

Dive safe

Haha! I couldn't see what type of Trigger it was...was it a Titan? They are right little buggers. If they'd attack a manta then it's no wonder they like biting me!

Thanks for posting the vid.

Cheers, Simon

I think it's a pink tail trigger, looks like the manta may have had an infection on the tail that it was nibbling! Was that at German Channel?

Cool video!

Was a Pink Tail. The site was called Devil Fish City. Dive Guides said you have a 50/50 chance of seeing them. There is a good bit of current, 2 guys took too long getting down and were blown off the site.

I didn't think it looked like German Channel... too much soft coral! Did you visit the seaplane up there too?
