White Spotted Puffer - Arothron hispidus Mandarin House Reef, Lembeh. It was during a night dive so the illumination with the flash lights made a nice effect through the puffer&#039;s eye.<br />

  1. The light indeed adds so much to the nightly ambience! A night dive sounds so exciting (and scary), do you often take night dives? Posted 6 years ago
    1. Less often than day dives but to be honest I like night dives even more because a lot of macro life comes out at night when some of the predator fishes are sleeping :-) Posted 6 years ago

The white-spotted puffer is a medium to large-sized puffer fish, it can reach 50 cm length. It is light grey in color, or greyish or yellowish, and clearly covered with more or less regular white points, that become concentric contrasting white and dark grey lines that radiate around the eyes and pectoral fins. The ventral part is white. The "shoulder" is dark. It also has concentric contrasting white and dark grey lines that radiate around the eyes and pectoral fins.
