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: .

Preparing fugu requires exceptional culinary skill, as the chef must meticulously remove all poisonous parts of the fish to ensure safe consumption. The fact that this dish has been executed so flawlessly, with the fugu cooked to perfection, is a testament to the chef's mastery of this delicate and complex preparation.

$Starry Puffer Arothron stellatus occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific from the Red Sea and East Africa eastward through Indonesia to the Tuamotus, northward to southern Japan, southward to Lord Howe Island in a depth range from 3 to 58 m, max. total length 120cm, common length 54cm. \nThe species is relatively uncommon in patch reefs and coral slopes near sandy areas of clear lagoon and seaward reefs. Juveniles occur in sandy and weedy inner reefs, adults on clear lagoons and seaward reefs. \nStarry Puffers are poisonous to eat for humans. \nLembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°28'56.394 N 125°15'15.588 E at 7m depth$

$White-spotted Puffer Arothron hispidus occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific from the Red Sea and East Africa to Panama, north to southern Japan and the Hawaiian Islands, south to Lord Howe and Rapa islands, in the Eastern Pacific from the Baja California and the Gulf of California to Panama in a depth range from 1 to 50m, max. total length 50cm, max. weight 2kg. \nThe species inhabits outer reef slopes to depths of at least 50 m, inner reef flats and lagoons. Juveniles are common in weedy areas of estuaries, near rocky reef or on sand-stretches between reefs with low algae-rubble reef to about 20 meters depth, or in shallow with sparse seagrass growth. \nArothron hispidus feeds on fleshy, calcareous, or coralline algae, detritus, mollusks, tunicates, sponges, corals, zoanthid anemones, crabs, tube worms and echinoderms. \nThe species is toxic to predators and humans. If consumed, the tetrodotoxin (TTX) can cause symptoms like numbness, muscle weakness, respiratory failure, and even death. \nDespite their toxicity, pufferfish like Arothron hispidus are sometimes consumed in specific cultures (such as Japanese fugu), but only when prepared by licensed professionals who know how to remove toxic parts safely. \nLembeh Strait, Indonesia\n1°29'33.414 N 125°15'40.446 E at 17m depth$
