Possibly a Canthigaster rostrata.Hello I recently bought this sharp nose puffer but I am not sure what exact species it is. I think it's a Bennett Sharpnose puffer but not sure. Can someone ID him please
Oh wow that is true. I guess he is A Caribbean Sharpnose. Do you know if we will gain more color? Just bought him yesterday so I don't know maybe it's the stress?
The Caribbean sharpnose puffer has the ability to change its colors to a mottled pattern. In general this shows that the fish is being submissive. For the females they show this mottling when a male enters their territory and they are ready to mate. Males display a mottled pattern when they are passing through another males territory and they don’t want a territorial fight.
Yeah they do gain more colours you’ll just have to give him time to settle in and also as they get older they get more colour.
