Profile: Arothron caerulopunctatus

Common Name: Blue-spotted Puffer

This is not a caeruleopunctatus - it is a hispidus.

Caeruleonigropunctatus can approach almost 5 feet in the wild!!

I have seen a 26 inch one in captivity and the spots are truly blue not white. I have pics on my home computer that I can share.

Rocker,

It looks like the "classic" arothron hispidus.

All the pictures and the one I actually saw in captivity, of the caeruleonigropunctatus have the circles (varying numbers) around the eyes. The fins have spots as well.

The word from the 'Queen' is good enough for me. I shall change it in due course. Thank you!

If you want to use any of my puffer pics on this page, feel free. Let me know if you want to and need to know which is which, but you can probably figure it out. :)

Rocker, I just emailed you a document that I just quickly typed up on the Spiny Boxfish puffer. I even included a photo of one that I got permission for as long as I added them in my references.

Everybody doing those articles gave the idea to type one up since I do have one of these puffers.

I feel it will be a great addition to the Pufferpedia.
