long - spine porcupinefish populate coral reefs in warm waters throughout the indo - pacific region and the caribbean sea .
the long - spine porcupinefish has dark patches on its sides and back . it has long spines that protrude from all over its body , except for the fins and face .
common names for this fish include balloonfish , balloon porcupinefish , blotched porcupinefish , brown porcupinefish , freckled porcupinefish , hedgehog fish , and spiny puffer .

the long - spine porcupinefish has an elastic stomach , flexible skeletal structure , and stretchy skin , all which allow it to inflate like a balloon .
human interaction : long - spine porcupinefish is used in chinese medicine , and is captured at the surface with a hand net . it is poisonous if not prepared correctly .
the long - spine porcupinefish has powerful jaws with teeth joined together to form a beak . it uses that beak to crush the shells of the sea urchins and shellfish that it eats .
this long - spine porcupinefish ( diodon holocanthus ) or
balloonfish
on the seabed next to the king cruiser was missing its tail , but still able to swim around very fast .
the short spine porcupinefish are nocturnal feeders , feeding mainly on crustaceans , gastropods and sea urchins . hermit crabs are included in their diet .
round and covered with countless long spines , this fish has an endearing face with a small mouth and big eyes . its distinctive long spines evolved from scales .
a single long - spine porcupinefish can often be found under a zoom - mode glow near where the player has parked the gabbiano . sometimes , a glow with one of these fish in it will appear on the underside of the boat directly .
it has long spines that protrude from all over its body , except for the fins and face .
when frightened , the long - spine porcupinefish swallows a large amount of water and inflates a pouch by its stomach . by doubling in size and raising the spines all over its body , it attempts to intimidate its predators . some pieces of its skeleton are missing so as not to hinder its expanding .
a set of 4 long spines with their bases near dorsal - and anal - fin bases and their pointed ends extending over caudal peduncle . two very long spines ( longer than rays of pectoral fins ) in pectoral - fin axil ( ref 9680 ) .
the blackblotched porcupinefish occurs in tropical waters and is found on coral reefs , rocky reefs and inshore waters .
he longspined porcupinefish diodon holocanthus , is also known as the spiny ballonfish . they can be easily confused with the
this species has a very wide distribution and a genetic analysis is warranted . leis ( 1978 ) noted some differences in spine morphology between pacific and north atlantic specimens .
when it spawns , the female porcupinefish deposits thousands of eggs close to the ocean floor , which the male immediately fertilizes .
« a large number of species of porcupinefish are inedible : their viscera or skin often contains a toxin that is particularly dangerous to humans . »
light grey body with pale belly , immovable spines , short on head grading to long at rear , 2 - 4 round black blotches on side , pale pectoral fin base , and unspotted fins .
the unique features of this fish give it protection against predators . when threatened , the long - spine porcupinefish will fill its body with air or water , which makes its body swell like a balloon . this makes it too large to fit into the predator’s mouth . also when “inflated , ” the spines all over its body are fully extended , making it even less of a desirable meal to the predator . such a defense mechanism requires a flexible stomach , vertebrae , and sides . this structure could not have happened by chance , random processes , but was designed by the creator .
breeding : the longspine porcupinefish is not likely to spawn in the home aquarium . reproduction in this species is quite violent , with males biting females during spawning .
aquarium conditions : the aquarium of the longspine porcupinefish should be large — a 75 - gallon aquarium or larger is best . make sure to provide your longspine porcupinefish with some good hiding places , although they spend little time under cover once they acclimate . instead , they regularly have their snouts plastered against the glass looking for their food providers .
, also known as the porcupinefish . however , an easy way to tell these two apart ( without getting too close ) is by checking for spots on the fins :
the body of the balloonfish is covered in long , sharp spines that extend when the fish inflates by taking in water . all members of the family diodontidae are capable of inflation , and may also change in color when threatened .
care considerations : one thing to keep in mind is that longspine porcupinefish are very prone to diseases , often breaking out with cryptocaryon at the drop of a hat . apparently , the longspine porcupinefish can even harbor the cysts of this parasite , in a dormant state , in their internal organs . but if you drop the specific gravity for several weeks ( to around 1 . 012 ) , they should recover . one thing you should never do is to encourage your longspine porcupinefish to inflate . this causes the fish stress , and if it should ingest air it may have a difficult time belching it out . hopefully , the longspine porcupinefish will work it all , but there’s nothing the hobbyist can do in such circumstances .
physical description : the longspine porcupinefish has a bulbous head and a short tail . the body is covered with sharp spines that lay backwards until it inflates with water . the longspine porcupinefish inflates in this manner when threatened by predators . ( on occasion , you may see this fish inflate for no apparent reason as if practicing for those times when inflating might save its life ! )
the blackblotched porcupinefish has erectile spines on the head and body . like all members of the family , it can inflate its body with water , and turn itself into a very spiny ball .
difficulty : the longspine porcupinefish can be an easy fish to keep once you convince it to eat aquarium fare . most individuals , in time , will greedily accept chopped seafood , frozen krill and frozen preparations for marine carnivores . if you feed the longspine porcupinefish a varied diet , at least once a day , it will stay happy and healthy and could live more than a decade in your aquarium .
diodon holocanthus has large spots scattered about its light brown body and darker saddles . the longspine porcupinefish reaches a length of about 15 inches . its larger cousin d . hystrix ( known simply as the porcupinefish ) reaches a massive 28 inches in length . it is a more elongate diodon sp . that has numerous small spots ( much smaller than the size of the eye ) all over its body and tail .

with fun facts about more than 100 animals , this long - awaited aquarium guide includes beautiful pictures and reveals the incredible facts and design features that point to our amazing creator . this handy size guide is excellent for school field trips and family trips to your favorite aquarium !
it is similar to the freckled porcupinefish , diodon holocanthus , but the latter has much longer spines , particularly on the head , and the blotch on the top of the head is continuous between the eyes . ,
adult longspine porcupinefish are usually solitary and are only seen in pairs or groups during mating . they are often seen wedged into small crevices on the reef during the day and will sometimes inflate wedging themselves into the crevice . they are slow swimmers usually propelling themselves with their pectoral , dorsal and anal fins but they are capable of a faster burst of speed when they use their caudal fins . porcupinefish are more agile than they look and can change direction quickly .
“et phone home . ” that famous movie phrase comes to mind every time i come to face - to - face with a longspine porcupinefish , also known as the balloonfish . its large head and big eyes give it an alienlike appearance . the longspine porcupinefish is also a fish full of personality . in fact , it has more charm than a lot of the people i have met during my travels through life ! but this ocean - bound et is not suitable for everyone .

if you have an acrylic aquarium , be aware that some longspine porcupinefish have been known to bite and cause scratches on the acrylic with their hard beaklike teeth . for a fish with teeth that can crush sea urchins and mollusk shells , scratching plastic is not that great a feat . acceptable water parameters for the longspine porcupinefish are a ph of 8 . 1 to 8 . 4 , specific gravity of 1 . 019 to 1 . 025 and a water temperature of 74 to 82 degrees fahrenheit .
begins to develop spines . the larvae metamorphosize after about 3 weeks ( flmnh ) . after this metamorphosis , fins and fin rays are present , the teeth are formed , and adult olive and brown coloring develops ( flmnh ) . dark spots appear on the belly , which may help camouflage the juveniles in floating sargassum from underwater predators such as the mahi mahi ( flmnh ) . the juvenile loses this underside spotting when it reaches the adult stage . at this point in development , spine elongation and body growth occur . the larval stage of
longspine porcupinefish have a light olive brown background color with brown or black dots across the body . light brown blotches are spread across the body . the eyes are prominent as with most nocturnal feeders and are covered with a blotch which runs across the head from eye to eye . the anal and dorsal fins are set back close to the caudal peduncle . usually the fins are a transparent yellow colour . when not inflated the spines lie flat on the body pointing backwards towards the tail .
, also known as the balloonfish or spiny puffer , can reach lengths from about 30 . 5 to 61 cm . it has dark patches along its sides and back , but perhaps its most telling feature is the long spines that protrude from all over its body , excluding the fins and face . the spines are actually modified scales , which lay flat against its body most of the time ( waikiki aquarium 1999 ) . in some relatives of the balloonfish , a toxic chemical , tetrodotoxin , is found in the skin and spines . however , only trace amounts of tetrodotoxin have been found in balloonfish , mainly concentrated in the ovaries ( chen and chou 1998 ) . in appearance ,
the longspined porcupinefish grow quite large and are messy eaters and therefore require a large aquarium . even with good filtration frequent water changes are necessary and any excess food should be vacuumed out . as saltwater fish go they are very hardy and easy to feed . because they are easy to catch they are also quite cheap . they have been kept in captivity for up to 15 years . as fish go they are intelligent and soon learn who feeds them and will swim up and down the side of the aquarium when they spot their feeder .

porcupinefishes are slow - swimming , medium - sized fishes that are found mostly in shallow temperate and tropical marine waters . the teeth in both jaws are fused into a parrot - like
beak
. the family name diodontidae literally means ' two teeth ' . diodontids use these fused teeth and plates on the roof of the mouth to crush hard - bodied prey such as molluscs and sea urchins .
porcupinefishes are covered in spines . they can inflate their bodies into a ball - shape by swallowing water . the inflation of porcupinefishes is a defence mechanism , and as such there is no limit to the number of times an individual can inflate ( and deflate ) . if the fish inflates at the surface it is likely to ingest air , which can be difficult to expel . this can lead to death of the fish because it floats and cannot leave the surface . however , if the fish inflates under water , it ingests only water and has no problem deflating once the danger has passed .
the body is brown to grey above shading to white below . there are white - margined dark blotches on the back and sides , and the fins are normally unspotted .
the species is occurs in tropical waters of the indo - west and central pacific , from south africa , north to japan , south to australia and east to the marshall and society islands .
in australia it is known from the central coast of western australia , around the tropical north and south on the east coast to southern new south wales .

these fish have large eyes , small mouths , and round bodies covered in spines . they are generally light - brown on the back and white on the belly . they can be seen year - round when they approach your boat .
although it is not poisonous like other blowfish , it has a distinctive means of self - defence . it swallows a large quantity of water , swelling its body and causing the spines that normally lie flat on its body to stick up . once it has gone into this defensive posture , a predator cannot attack without being pierced by the spines .
it has 400 - 600 spines , so it ' s probably a waste of time trying to count them .
these small fish appear in ciceros strait , around coordinates c - 2 and f - 5 .
these small creatures float around slowly and seemingly aimlessly . they puff up their bodies with poked or prodded , but they respond well to being fed .
in endless ocean 2 , the creatures under the zoom - mode glow at coordinates c - 2 are risky to attempt to find , as great white sharks patrol that area during the daytime . however , at night , the sharks move , leaving that space open to safely explore .

justification : this species is widely distributed and occurs over soft bottom and reef . there are no known major threats , therefore it is assessed as least concern .
diodon holocanthus is of minor commercial importance to the fisheries industry and aquarium trade ( miyasaka 1993 , fujita et al . 1997 ) . it is eaten in the ryukyu ' s and taiwan ( leis pers . comm . 2011 ) . it is also dried and sold as curios in parts of its range . there are reports that this species is toxic to humans , however this needs to be substantiated .
this errata assessment has been created because the map was accidentally left out of the version published previously .

which is similar in looks but has much shorter spines and slightly different markings on the face . as with all pufferfish or blowfish , they have the ability to swallow water or air and inflate themselves . this enlarges them making it more difficult for predators to swallow them and furthermore raises the spines presenting an unpalatable looking meal .
as further protection they have a symbiotic relationship with types of bacteria such as pseudoalteromonas tetraodonis , which produces tetradotoxin which is a powerful neurotoxin .
they can grow up to 29 cm in length . the mouth is proportionally fairly large and if one observes them closely , the skin around the mouth is slightly wrinkled .
longspine porcupine fish are prolific spawners , the male pushes the female to the surface and large numbers of eggs are released and fertilized . after several days of floating near the surface the eggs hatch and the larvae are well formed . after three or so weeks the fins and teeth develop and the juveniles migrate to inshore areas when they have reached six to seven cm in length .
they are eaten in japan as sashimi and chirinabe in the notorious dish known as fugu . the tetradotoxin found in the fish is around 1200 times more poisonous than cyanide and the attraction is to put ones life in the hands of the chef who cuts the meat , hopefully leaving out the more poisonous parts which would certainly kill . if the chef gets it right a mild tingling and a feeling of euphoria will be felt .
in some areas the fish are blown up and sold as ornaments or as lamp shades . due to the increased controls on transporting such goods this practice is hopefully dying out .
while they do not eat other fishes in the wild , any crustacean and some corals are fair game for them . because their teeth continue growing throughout their life , they require hard foods to keep their teeth worn down . because of their solitary nature only one fish may be kept in a tank . if you have one you should not stress them to watch them puff up .

circumtropical distribution ; southern california to the gulf of california to northern peru and all the offshore islands .
balloonfishes are circumtropical in distribution . these fish are found in the western atlantic from florida , usa to the bahamas and brazil , in the eastern atlantic around 30°n - 23°s , and in south africa . in the eastern pacific from hawaii to pitcairn and the easter islands , and from southern california , us to colombia and the galapagos islands . they are reef fish with a depth range of 2 - 100 m .
balloonfish are nocturnal predators , generally hiding in crevices in the reef during the day . the teeth are fused forming a strong , beak - like mouth for consuming snails , sea urchins , and hermit crabs . these fish are relatively poor swimmers .
juveniles are consumed by pelagic predatory fishes such as tuna and marine mammals such as dolphins . adults fall prey to sharks .
they reproduce via dioecism ( sexes are separate ) and fertilization is external with a spawning frequency of one clear seasonal peak per year .

is distributed circumtropically throughout the world ( hobson 1974 ; flmnh ) . in the u . s . it is found along the pacific coast , the florida keys and hawaii ( hobson 1974 ; waikiki aquarium 1999 ) . it is widespread in the caribbean and eastern asia ( hobson 1974 ; flmnh ) .
adult balloonfish are found in relatively shallow areas of the ocean . they prefer grassy flats , coral reefs , and mangrove areas ( randall 1967 ; flmnh ; nagelkerken et . al 2000 ) . the larvae however , are found in the pelagic ( open water ) zone ( flmnh ) . they bob around in their shells for about 4 days before hatching ( flmnh ) .
balloonfish expand by swallowing mouthfuls of air or water when attacked by a predator . the balloonfish swallows air , when attacked by avian predators , or water , when attacked by piscine predators ( brainerd 1994 ) . after ingestion through the mouth , the air or water reaches the highly elastic stomach , which has been described as a
large dilatable sac with robust esophageal and pyloric sphincters
( rosen , 1912 ) . the stomach , which has lost its digestive function , plays a key role in the inflation process ( brainerd 1994 ) . in diodontidae , the stomach is a simple sac , whereas in tetraodontidae the stomach is divided into two parts by a pyloric sphincter . as the stomach expands , it pushes the peritoneal lining into the ample peritoneal space . the peritoneal cavity expands towards the head to the mandible and towards the tail to enclose the unpaired fins ( brainerd 1994 ) .
also facilitates inflation . because the balloonfish lacks pleural ribs and a pelvic girdle , expansion is not as strictly inhibited as in most fish . the vertebral column is also highly flexible . it bends in an arc towards the dorsal side of the fish , allowing
in addition to the elastic stomach , generous peritoneal space and skeletal structure , balloonfish skin is also specialized for inflation ( brainerd 1994 ) . the skin of
is highly elastic because of microfolds in the epidermis and collagen fibers of the dermis . these allow
to extend through 40 % of its initial length before it begins to stiffen ( brainerd 1994 ) .
reproduces through sexual processes , just like most other fish . sexual reproduction maintains genetic diversity within the species , which is important for preventing disease and adapting to changes in the environment over time . during spawning season , a male pushes a female to the surface and they immediately spawn ( flmnh ) . the round eggs float in the water . until they are 10 days old ,
larvae retain a thin shell covering , which is then lost ( flmnh ) . at this time ,
is yellow with red spots and well - developed functional mouth , eyes and gas bladder ( flmnh ) .
is threatened , it sucks water or air into its body , causing the dangerous spines to stick out at right angles from its body ( brainerd 1994 ) . the entire body swells two to three times in diameter as the stomach expands ( brainerd 1994 ) . it is not surprising that very few predators consume balloonfish .
the process of inflation is called an
anti - predatory defense mechanism
. this means that
demonstrates the most pronounced spherical shape of all pufferfish when inflated ( brainerd 1994 ) . the extremely inflated body shape also helps
avoid
gape - limited predators
. these are predators that can ' t open their mouths wide enough to swallow
when it is inflated . in hawaii , the only known predator of adult balloonfish is the tiger shark ( waikiki aquarium 1999 ) .
are fused , forming a solid , heavy beak ( hobson 1974 ; waikiki aquarium 1999 ) . this beak makes cracking the shells of snails , sea urchins and hermit crabs a breeze . with the help of its relatively large eyes ,
feeds at night on these delicacies of the coastal zone ( waikiki aquarium 1999 ) . as for catching its prey ,
certainly does not rely on speed . it is actually a slow - swimming predator ( waikiki aquarium 1999 ) . what
can do is maneuver into tricky positions using its pectoral , pelvic and anal fins . this is especially helpful in complex habitat such as coral reefs .
uses its tail primarily for steering and for occasional bursts of speed ( waikiki aquarium 1999 ) .
is a nocturnal predator and remains hidden during the day ( hobson 1974 ; waikiki aquarium 1999 ; flmnh ) . individuals have been observed resting near ledges and shallow caves of the rocky sea floor in the gulf of california and ledges or holes in the florida keys in the daytime ( hobson 1974 ) . in coral reefs around hawaii and the west indies ,
' main food source is pagurid crabs ( hermit crabs ) and prosobranch gastropods , which include familiar marine organisms such as abalones , limpets , top shells , periwinkles , boat shells , conchs , moon snails , and whelks ( hobson 1974 ; flmnh ; randall 1967 ; waikiki aquarium 1999 ) .
are however , a relatively common novelty for tourists on vacation in tropical areas ( flmnh ) .

body of water between the southern ocean ( above 60 degrees south latitude ) , australia , asia , and the western hemisphere . this is the world ' s largest ocean , covering about 28 % of the world ' s surface .

structure produced by the calcium carbonate skeletons of coral polyps ( class anthozoa ) . coral reefs are found in warm , shallow oceans with low nutrient availability . they form the basis for rich communities of other invertebrates , plants , fish , and protists . the polyps live only on the reef surface . because they depend on symbiotic photosynthetic algae , zooxanthellae , they cannot live where light does not penetrate .

the dorsal surface is generally bright green with some darker brown markings , including vertical bars along the sides of the body and the lip and a dark bar between the eyes . the legs are also barred . the upper portion of the snout is a paler green than the rest of the body .
the ventral surface is white . a few dark flecks or blotches may be present on the throat .
a purple spot is present in the groin . the rear surfaces of the thighs are pale brown .
the eye is large . the iris is golden , with some black venation in the lower portion .
species description based on boulenger ' s ( 1912 ) description printed in cochran and goin ( 1970 ) . a small frog ( to 27 mm ) .
dorsal coloration is brown with two dark stripes on either side that extend from the eye to the groin , as well as a second , shorter dark stripe extending from the eye above the longer stripe . individuals also have thin , light middorsal stripe within a broader , dark middorsal stripe . some additional dark vertical bars are present below the eye , and the thighs are barred . the sides are darker brown than the upper surface of the dorsum . the skin of the dorsum is smooth .

abstract : fieldwork in the cloud forest of venezuela’s remote península de paria in 2001 resulted in the collection of several specimens that could unquestionably be classified as members of the genus pristimantis . subsequent analysis of comparative material in museum collections brought the total number of specimens to 44 , and these collectively represent five new species . two of these species , p . geminus sp . nov . and p . nubisilva sp . nov . , have phenotypes remarkably similar to the trinidadian p . urichi , supporting a prediction that pristimantis from easternmost venezuela may have given rise to trinidadian forms . pristimantis hoogmoedi sp . nov . is easily identified by its large size and red eyes . . . . the unexpectedly high

this species was originally described in 1885 by the belgian - british zoologist george albert boulenger , who named it draco guentheri .
mcguire ja , alcala ac . 2000 . a taxonomic revision of the flying lizards ( iguania : agamidae : draco ) of the philippine islands , with a description of a new species . herpetological monographs 14 : 81 - 138 . ( draco guentheri , p . 100 ) .
little is known about the natural history of draco guentheri . mcguire and alcala ( 2000 ) found this species in secondary - growth forest and on coconut trees adjacent to forest near the malagos eagle station , mindanao island .
in 1936 hennig considered this lizard to be part of what he called a subspecies , draco volans reticulatus . in 1993 gaulke raised it to full species status . and most recently , in 2000 , mcguire and alcala once again recognized boulenger ' s original draco guentheri as a valid species .
draco rizali and other lesser known facts about rizal | nation , news . . .
draco guentheri is known from the islands of basilan , bongao , jolo , mindanao , sanga sanga , siasi , and siminul ( taylor , 1918 , 1922 ; gaulke , 1993 , 1995 ) . the species is known primarily from the zamboanga region of mindanao and from the sulu archipelago .
draco guentheri has been observed in sympatry with d . bimaculatus , d . cyanopterus , and d . mindanensis , but is often considered uncommon relative to d . bimaculatus and d . cyanopterus ( mcguire and alcala , 2000 ) . at san roque and cabala , widely spaced localities in the eastern half of mindanao characterized by open coconut groves , d . guentheri was not found ( mcguire and alcala , 2000 ) . taylor ( 1918 , 1922 ) indicated that d . guentheri is the common species of the sulu archipelago and because it has been collected within the confines of the city of zamboanga , it seems likely that the species does occur in open habitats such as coconut groves in the western portion of its range ( text take from mcguire and alcala , 2000 ) .

thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the iucn red list of threatened species website , we are grateful for your input .
justification : listed as least concern since , although its extent of occurrence is possibly less than 20 , 000 km² , it is common and adaptable with a presumed large population , and it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category .
this species is endemic to the philippines , where it has been recorded from the islands of basilan , bongao , jolo , mindanao ( including atypical specimens from malagos and mount apo ) , sanga - sanga , siasi and simunul ; and is possibly present on the island of tawi - tawi . it ranges from sea level to about 1 , 500 m asl .
mcguire and alcala ( 2000 ) , report that this species has previously been found to be common in the sulu archipelago , and note that it is likely to remain common in view of its adaptability to modified habitats . it is a very common inhabitant of coconut groves and trees in cultivated areas of the zamboanga peninsula ( m . gaulke pers . obs . 2006 / 2007 ) , and was very common on several visited islands of the sulu - archipeligo at the beginning of 1990s ( m . gaulke pers . comm . 2008 ) . the population of this species may be increasing with the conversion of closed forest to more suitable open habitats .
populations of this species have been found in second growth forest and in coconut groves adjacent to secondary forest . it is an oviparous species .
there appear to be no major threats to this species . it is possible that some local declines have occurred through the use of pesticides , however , this requires verification .
this species has been recorded from the malagos watershed protected area , and may be present in additional protected areas . further taxonomic studies are needed into this species as a whole .
