== Behavior == [[image:Titan Triggerfish.jpg|thumb|With [[orange-lined triggerfish]] and [[moorish idol]]s, in the [[Maldives]].|left]] The titan triggerfish is [[Diurnality|diurnal]] and solitary. It feeds on [[sea urchin]]s, [[mollusc]]s, [[crustacean]]s, [[tube worm]]s and [[coral]].<ref name=FishBase/> It often feeds by turning over rocks, stirring up sand and biting off pieces of branching coral. This is why other smaller fish species are often seen around it, as they feed on the detritus and smaller organisms that are stirred up. Titan triggerfish are one of a number of species of fish which can hunt and eat the [[crown-of-thorns starfish]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-04-10 |title=Crown Of Thorns Starfish Attacks. {{!}} Scuba Diver Mag |url=https://www.scubadivermag.com/crown-of-thorns-starfish-attacks/ |access-date=2024-03-05 |language=en-GB}}</ref> Titan triggerfish have been observed being aggressive to other fish who enter their territory.
