-THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-
Marine Life in The Philippines & S.E. Asia. and the World. Post #163: Guineafowl puffer
Meet the Guineafowl puffer
(Arothron meleagris)!
This fish feeds mainly on the tips of branching corals.
It gets round not by eating but to avoid being eaten, swallowing water to dissuade predators from attempting such a big bite.
If it’s late to inflate, this fish also has bacteria in its body that can be toxic.
