Blue Spot Puffer

Canthigaster solandri

Reef Safe with Caution

The Blue Spot Puffer, also known as the Solandri Puffer, is a charming but potentially challenging addition to marine aquariums. Featuring a distinctive pattern of blue spots against a pale yellow or cream-colored body, this pufferfish adds a unique visual appeal to the tank. While generally considered reef safe with caution, it may occasionally nip at corals or other invertebrates. Additionally, it possesses powerful jaws capable of crushing hard-shelled prey, making it unsuitable for keeping with smaller tank mates or delicate invertebrates. Providing a varied diet including meaty foods and occasional shellfish helps maintain the health and vitality of this species. With its curious and inquisitive nature, the Blue Spot Puffer adds personality and character to the aquarium, making it a favored choice for experienced aquarists seeking an engaging and visually striking fish.

These fish are for saltwater aquariums only.
