Valentin's sharpnose puffer (Canthigaster valentini), also known as the saddled puffer or black saddled toby, is a demersal Marine fish belonging to the family Tetraodontidae.
The Saddled puffer is a small sized fish which grows up to 11 cm. It is widely distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indian Ocean, Red Sea included, and until the oceanic islands of the Pacific Ocean. C. valentini are occasionally found in schools together with Paraluteres prionurus, a non-toxic filefish which has evolved to mimic the very toxic C. valentini for protection against predators. Order: Tetraodontiformes, Family: Tetraodontidae, Genus: Canthigaster, Species: Canthigaster valentini (Bleeker, 1853).
