Description

The spot-fin porcupinefish is a medium-sized fish which grows up to 91 cm. Its body is elongated with a spherical head with big round protruding eyes, a large mouth rarely closed. The latter move simultaneously during swimming. The skin is smooth and firm, the scales are modified into spines. The body coloration is beige to sandy-yellow marbled with dark blotches and dotted with numerous small black spots. In case of danger, the porcupinefish can inflate itself by swallowing water to deter the potential predator with its larger volume and it can raise its spines.
