Description
A small sharpnose (toby) puffer with a pearly white to pale body covered in clusters of dark spots and dashes, a slender profile and elongated snout compared to most tobies. Inquisitive and generally well-behaved but capable of nipping long-finned tankmates and picking at ornamental invertebrates, corals and clams, so it suits fish-only-with-live-rock systems best. Provide caves and overhangs, pristine water with strong filtration for a messy eater, and hard-shelled foods to wear down its ever-growing beak.

With caution

Behavior
This pufferfish is known for its curious and active nature. It can be somewhat territorial and may nip at the fins of slower-moving fish.
