Common name: Pufferfish

Tetraodontiformes is an order that includes various unique and often brightly colored marine species, such as pufferfish, boxfish, triggerfish, and filefish. Members of this order are known for their distinctive body shapes and defense mechanisms. Pufferfish, for example, can inflate their bodies to deter predators, while boxfish have rigid, box-like structures. Triggerfish have strong jaws and teeth for crushing shells. These species can be challenging to keep in home aquariums due to their specific dietary and environmental needs, and some may exhibit aggressive behavior towards other tank inhabitants.
