Sharp-nosed Puffer (Canthigaster solandri)
Pufferfishes comprise another group of inflatable fishes. The Sharp-nosed
puffer is one of the most beautiful of the puffer species. Besides the
beautiful colors and spots on this species, there is a large black spot near
the animal's back fin. This resembles an eye and helps draw the attention
of predators toward the fish's tail and away from the its head.
