Here is a video I shot of a working queen triggerfish while on the Turks & Caicos Explorer II in September, 2010 with SingleDivers.
It includes my patient dive buddy, Tammy.

First off the color was amazing and it seemed as if we ALL were there!
Secondly I've never seen a Queen Trigger allow you to film them that long...very very cool!
Third what camera were you using?
Fourth...it seems appropriate the Queen of Happy Hours and Trip Coordination met her fellow "Queen in the Ocean"... both in blue no less!

Tammy and I descended from the boat with a plan. Then I found the queen triggerfish under the boat.
Scrap the plan, I've never seen a fish working like this!
I used a Canon Powershot SD940 in an Ikelite housing with Magic Filter taped over the lens.

It lets you see vivid colors on the camera screen, so now I stop and shoot just about anything red!
I won't forget sharing the ocean with two queens on that dive!
Here's another video from that trip using the Magic Filter of Larry the Lionfish Hunter:
