Valentinni's Sharpnose Puffer

Poster - Valentinni's Sharpnose Puffer guarding its territory

Valentinni's Sharpnose Puffer hovering within delicate strands of soft corals along a reef edge, defending its territory from other fish.Both male and female Valentinni's Sharpnose Puffers are highly territorial as the males are haremic, spawning with a different female each day. They have four distinct saddle shaped stripes along their backs and are consequently also known as Saddled 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.
