•  Info Close-up of a masked puffer (Arothron diadematus), Red Sea, Egypt. This pufferfish can only be found in the Red Sea from surface to 20 metres (66 ft) depth and sssociated with coral reefs. It has a maximum length of 30 centimetres (12 in) and is usually solitary but in schools during mating period. As with many other puffers, this pufferfish has a symbiotic relationship with types of bacteria that produces tetradotoxin which is a powerful neurotoxin. Tetradoxin is found in their skin and internal organs like liver and is approximately 100 times more toxic than cyanide, what makes pufferfishes among the most poisonous vertebrates in the world. They are therefore highly toxic to most animals when eaten. Nevertheless, the meat of some species is considered a delicacy in Japan, Korea, and China when prepared by specially trained chefs who know which part is safe to eat and in what quantity. Furthermore one of the most known characteristics of pufferfishes is that they can inflate taking water or air an so multiply their size several times to avoid that they can be swallowed by predators. Note: we have no FPs of this species. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 05:00, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

•  Comment This is a sort of 3/4 view of the fish's face. I'd rather see more of the fish. For example, I like this photo better: File:Pez globo (Arothron diadematus), mar Rojo, Egipto, 2023-04-17, DD 155.jpg. It looks great at 50%, which I daresay is larger than life size on my 23 1/2-inch monitor, and it's a more dramatic-looking face with more dramatic fins and in context. I would vote for that photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:07, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
