The **Spotted Puffer** is an adorable and vibrant small pufferfish. These fish feature a predominantly reddish-tan body adorned with white spots and a pale belly.

**Spotted Puffers** can grow up to 5 inches and require a minimum tank size of 55 gallons. They are generally peaceful and coexist well with other fish, corals, and invertebrates, though they may consume smaller invertebrates, so caution is advised when adding them to a reef tank.

These puffers can inflate their bodies to more than twice their size to deter predators. Therefore, avoid using nets to move a **Spotted Puffer**; instead, use an acrylic or plastic container. Inflating is stressful for them, so never provoke this behavior for entertainment.

As omnivores, **Spotted Puffers** need a diet rich in both meat and greens. Feeding them mysis and brine shrimp, high-quality frozen foods, and premium pellet and flake foods will ensure they remain healthy and content.
