Stars-and-Stripes Toadfish
(Arothron hispidus)
The Stars-and-Stripes
Toadfish is one of the many pufferfish we have at Julian Rocks. When
threatened it can inflate itself and becomes even less mobile.
Its skin and internal organs contain a potent and potentially deadly
(to humans and other terrestrial animals) toxin called Tetradotoxin.
