Becuase the trigger fish does not eat fish, other fish are not threatened by them. So the bar jack hides behing the trigger fish so it can get closer to its prey without being detected. A good example of competition is that of fighting corals. Because coral rely on sunlight, there is often competition between them for acess to this reasource. This can be seen in the DMZ's.
