The Reticulated Puffer, also known as the Hawaiian Spotted Puffer or the Black Spotted Puffer, is a species of pufferfish found in the Indo-Pacific region, ranging from the Red Sea and East Africa to Hawaii and the Marquesas Islands. They are known for their distinctive black spots on a white background, which gives them a reticulated or net-like appearance. Like all pufferfish, the Reticulated Puffer has the ability to inflate its body by taking in water or air, which makes it more difficult for predators to swallow. They are typically found in shallow, sandy areas of reefs and lagoons and feed on a diet of crustaceans and mollusks. Due to their attractive appearance and relatively small size (growing up to around 8 inches), they are sometimes kept in home aquariums, but their poisonous flesh makes them unsuitable for human consumption.
