They are white with small brown dots and yellow fins. There are also four brown markings across the top of the body that looks like paint dripping. Like all the other puffers they lack pelvic fins and us the pectoral fins to move around in the tank. They have a beak like mouth that helps them crush food. When they become stressed or threatened they will puff up to double their size. This is a defense mechanisms to scare away the predators. They should be kept in a fish only tank that is 30 gallons or larger. They will do well with tangs and non-aggressive triggerfish. Once acclimated to your tank they will eat a variety of meaty marine food consisting of squid, krill, shrimp, clams and other meaty food.
