>>26251700
I want clownfish though

Hawaiifag here, there is absolutely nothing noteworthy about this fish other than its unique pattern, so don't get your hopes too high

That's the lagoon triggerfish, not the reef triggerfish.

>>26252069
... so it only became popular because of the name?
>>
>>26252140
when foreigners come over and hear the name "humuhumunukunukuāpua'a" they think "wow, that sure is unique! I'll attempt to remember this and say it wrong in a super slow cadence to all my friends back in Minnesota"
it's popular because the name is long and funny, the hawaiians know that and abuse it to make people think everything is more special than it is
>>
>>26252197
Yep, in reality it's not a particularly special fish
>>
>>26252197
I know about it because of Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

>Do you know what the state fish of Hawaii is?
>Humuhumunukunukuapua'a yeah bitch

Different Hawaiifag here, most the fish does is eat coral with its beak

One of the Toy Story shorts made a joke about this too.
