What is this incredible puffer?

Post by Bleedingheartmommy »

This article is amazing, showing the brilliant puffer that builds the "underwater crop circles" for spawning, and they're built for function as well as looks... another testemate to the intelligence of puffer fish.

But I can't figure which puffer it is, any help PP? The video looks like a white puffer, maybe an immaculate puffer? Only one I have seen that looks sorta similar- and it doesn't say which in the article.

I saw that on a BBC documentary a couple of years ago, it's absolutely amazing what that little fish can do
