Description
The Honeycomb Toby is a small, colorful pufferfish known for its distinctive honeycomb-like pattern of white spots on a brown body, with blue and orange stripes on its head. It is a hardy species but can be aggressive towards other puffers or small invertebrates. This fish requires a well-established saltwater aquarium with plenty of rockwork for hiding.
