Groupers are shy and have a long escape distance. This specimen was unusually curious and followed the photographer attentively for quite a while.\n\nTriton Bay, Indonesia \n3°54'2.346 S 134°6'32.099 E at 12m depth$

This pufferfish may be an example of the taxidermist's art, but in this case it is filled with air. Clearly seen are the four 'teeth' that give this order of fishes the name Tetradontidae. These teeth deal with the natural prey of pufferfish, which are molluscs and crustaceans. 'Four-tooth' fishes include examples with names such as pufferfish, puffers, balloonfish, blowfish, bubblefish, globefish, swellfish, toadfish, toadies, honey toads, sugar toads, and sea squab. They are closely related to the porcupinefish, which have large external spines. Pufferfish may be the second-most poisonous vertebrates in the world, after the golden poison frog. Organs such as the liver and skin can be highly toxic due to an accumulation of tetrodotoxin, a neurotoxin. Some countries that enjoy cookery-on-the-edge will eat pufferfish, after it has been specially prepared, at which time the meat is considered a delicacy (even if still potentially lethal). Japan has its 'fugu', Korea its 'bok' and China its 'hetun'. This particular pufferfish came from the seas around Menorca. Similar fishes: .
