Key Points

Maturation stages were marked by distinct shifts in coloration patterns, affecting camouflage and behavior.
In total, five distinct coloration stages were identified, providing insights into growth patterns and ecological roles.
Observational analysis across various marine environments documented these coloration changes in clown triggerfish.
Ecological implications arise from understanding these shifts, including potential impacts on predator-prey dynamics.
