Blackspotted puffer peeping out from the safety of his nook under a coral ledge. Puffers often find places to sleep during the day, often in coral nooks, or on sandy seabeds. They generally are less active during the daylight hours, hunting mostly at night. Puffers generally swim slowly over the seabed, however they can make up for their lack of speed with unexpected bursts of speed. If still endangered, they have a multitude of natural defenses including spines all over their bodies and the ability to intake water and double their size, hence the common name Puffer.
Individually crafted - we take pride in our unique collection of underwater photography. Our high quality photo prints featuring pictures of tropical fish are printed individually to order.
