Common name: Pufferfish

Canthigaster is a genus of small to medium-sized pufferfish commonly known as Tobies or Sharpnose Puffers. They are known for their unique ability to inflate their bodies as a defense mechanism. These pufferfish are popular in the reefkeeping hobby due to their vibrant colors and interesting behaviors. They generally require well-established tanks with plenty of hiding places and a diet that includes a variety of meaty foods and algae. While generally peaceful, they can be territorial and may nip at slow-moving fish or invertebrates with long appendages.
