As you can see, triggerfish are not to be messed with. Those impressive teeth can inflict quite a bite and the fish are notoriously aggressive nest-guarders (as per scary photo above). So what happens when a marine research team leaves a few GoPro cameras underwater and lures fish to the area with a delicious algae buffet? Triggerfish attack! (Apparently, the GoPro emerged with a few bruises but otherwise unscathed.)
