White spotted pufferfish

Scientific name : Arothron hispidus
Hawaïan name : O'opu-Hue

The white spotted pufferfish has a powerful mouth enabling it to grab mollusks, sea-stars, coral, to crush and swallow them.
If threatened, the white spotted pufferfish fills with water and then looks like a balloon from which only the tail, eyes and mouth stick up.
