White-spotted Puffer

Found singly, protecting their territories, over mixed coral, rocks, rubble, sand, and weedy bottoms, of inner reef flats and slopes, in coastal bays, estuaries, and lagoons, rich in algae growth.

The bodies of Pufferfish are covered in a toxic mucus, if the skin or flesh is consumed it can be fatal to humans.
When threatened they will puff up like a football to deter predators.
