Common name: Spiny boxfish

Pervagor is a genus of boxfishes commonly known as Spiny boxfish. These small, uniquely shaped fish are encased in a bony armor and are known for their ability to release toxins when stressed, a defense mechanism called ostracitoxin. They are generally peaceful but can be territorial. Suitable for experienced aquarists, they require stable water conditions and a well-established tank with plenty of hiding places. Their diet should include a variety of meaty foods and algae. Caution is advised when housing with sensitive invertebrates or corals due to their potential toxin release.
