More about Hawaiian saddle puffer
The Hawaiian saddle puffer (Canthigaster coronata) is a distinctive species of pufferfish predominantly found in the warm waters around Hawaii. This fish is visually striking due to its deep blue to black body, accented with a white belly and white to yellow lines that highlight its back, creating a "saddle" pattern. In terms of size, it remains relatively small, making it identifiable and unique among pufferfish. Despite its appealing appearance, the Hawaiian saddle puffer is not commonly found in the aquarium hobby. This can be attributed to its specific care requirements and potential toxicity, factors that often deter aquarists.
