White-spotted Puffer
Arothron hispidus
The White-spotted Puffer lives on coral reefs, rocky shores, and lagoons across warm Indo-Pacific waters. It searches crevices and reef surfaces for mollusks, crustaceans, sea urchins, algae, and other benthic food. When threatened, it can rapidly inflate with water, making itself difficult for predators to swallow.
