Saltwater Aquarium Porcupine
(Diodontidae)

Their skin is dotted with spines, which stick out in response to danger, and the effect is enhanced by the fish puffing out its body to impress its foe. Porcupine fish are considered easy to acclimatize, but they do not tolerate members of their own species. They feed on mussels and small shellfish - complete with shell -which they can munch thanks to their strong teeth.

Porcupine Fish (Diodon Hystrix)
It is best not to put invertebrates in a tank with the common porcupine fish as there is a chance it might find them appetizing. It may eat shrimps, small crabs, or mussels out of your hand - but watch out for its teeth! Sadly, this fish is sometimes sold, dried and bloated, as a decorative object, or even as a lampshade! It can grow to 90 cm in the wild.
