Here is another pufferfish. This guy's scientific name (Arothron nigropunctatus means black-spotted buffer, but I prefer the other common name, dog-face puffer.

Unfortunately, this is one of many fish whose colour patterns make it difficult to make the shot look sharp.





C&C welcome.

Great shots Andrew,

I like the second one better as there is a great sense of movement in the fins.

Ye gods, that’s freaky - does look just like a dog

What Chris said ... are the easy to train to sit .... roll over ... fetch ???

More amazing shots ...

Sit fugu sit...good dog. Woof!

Great marine photos as usual.

Amazing Reminds me of someone I know.............now who is it...?

That is the weirdest fish I have ever seen. To my untrained eye it looks like a hybrid, the face of a cow, the body of a dalmation dog and the tail of a seal. Great shot anyway

great shots ATJ..... i assume because of their colour they habitat that whitish environment.


cheers pa

Pa,

Being toxic, they can pretty much be any colour they want. They live on coral reefs, floating over a background of all sorts of colours. I have never seen them try to blend in.
