Triggerfish Builds a Nest at Melissa's Garden | Raja Ampat | Indonesia | 2025

The titan triggerfish is one of my favorite fish to film—especially when it's nesting.
In this video, I captured a female building her nest at the stunning Melissa’s Garden dive site in Raja Ampat, Indonesia, during our stay at Sorido Bay Resort in January 2025.
Her digging, guarding, and intense behavior show just how wild and fascinating reef life can be.
