Spiny Box Burrfish
The Spiny Box Burrfish looks similar to the popular Porcupine Puffer except that the Burrfish has more details. Be aware that this fish can be semi aggressive and is known to nip on tank mates' fins. The Spiny Box is not considered reef safe since they prefer to snack on sessile invertebrates. The fish will inflate its body when threatened. To prevent this from happening try using a container when transferring the fish instead of the net to avoid them from ingesting air. They will grow to be about 10" in size. Full grown adults of this puffer will need around 180 gallons; however, you can get away with smaller aquariums when they are juveniles. This puffer is tan with brown spots and markings that resemble a web. The Spiny Box Burrfish are found in the West Atlantic inhabiting lagoons and seaward reefs. In nature these burrfish blow water into the sand to expose their food, thus they are sometimes called blowfish. This may well occur in a home aquarium.
