What is Humuhumunukunukuapua'a?


1.

One of two reef triggerfish, Rhinecanthus aculeatus or R. rectangulus. State fish of Hawai'i

I went scuba diving off the Kona coast, but I failed to see a humuhumunukunukuapua'a.

2.

The unofficial state fish of Hawaii. Recognizable by a diamond-shape body with armor-like scales, a dark stripe across their silver sides and belly, and pale blue fins. In addition, they have a sharp, spike-like dorsal fin, hence they are commonly known as triggerfish.

Common name: Hawaiian triggerfish

Scientific name: Rhinecanthus rectanglus

Snorkeling in Hanauma Bay one day, I detected several humuhumunukunukuapua'a swimming about. I tried to swim up and touch one, but it just darted away.
