LAGOON TRIGGERFISH Humuhumu-nukunuku-a-pua’a (spewing sand)

This triggerfish was crunching of sand when I swam up to it, as it made the getaway it let sand go out the gills. I have seen this before where they eat sand and coral and flush it through the gills, I have also seen them poop sand. So now you know how some of that nice white sand it made. Makena, Maui.
