Abalistes stellatus (Bloch & Schneider 1801), the Starry Triggerfish,  is offered most often out of the Indian Ocean, but it is even better out of the Red Sea. To a length of two feet overall. Aq. pic.
Anthony Gill There are actually two species recognised in the genus. The other, A. filamentosus, was described in 2004 by Matsuura and Yoshino. Here's an image from their paper - A. is A. filamentosus; B,C are A. stellatus.
