Canthigaster [Canthigaster]

Description

These small-to-medium pufferfish are frequently spotted around coral reefs, peeking from crevices and grazing on algae and invertebrates. Their compact bodies and striking markings make them stand out, and they often hold position close to the reef while watching divers pass by.
