Caribbean Sharpnose Toby Puffer – Canthigaster rostrata – Medium/Large

The Caribbean Sharpnose Toby (Canthigaster rostrata) has an upper body that is olive-brown colored, a yellow lower body, and small blue dots and lines from snout to tail. The tail is yellow with black edges.

Puffers are not too demanding in terms of care, but they need plenty of space and ample filtration to keep the water quality pristine. They’re messy eaters, and the diet required for these fish can leave a lot of waste. Puffers have strong, ever-growing front teeth (beak) that they will need to wear down. They may chew on live rock in the tank to aid in the process. Feeding hard-shelled items, such as whole clams or shellfish, can also help to keep the teeth worn.
