Burrowing Puffer
Description
Description
The Burrowing Puffer, also known as the Immaculate Puffer, is a fascinating and intelligent fish that loves to sift and dig through sandy bottoms—often half-burying itself while watching the world go by. Its cream-to-tan body and signature yellow-ringed eyes make it stand out, while its playful and curious nature makes it a true character in any large marine aquarium. This species is best kept in a fish-only system with plenty of open sand and rockwork to explore. Like all puffers, it has a strong beak that grows continuously, so offering hard-shelled foods is essential to keep its teeth healthy and trimmed.
