Description
Long-spine porcupinefish (Diodon holocanthus) is a porcupine fish found in tropical oceans and seas worldwide, as well as many aquariums. Like other species of porcupinefish, it is known for its ability to inflate its body and raise its spines when threatened. Long-spine porcupinefish can feed even on hard-shelled mollusks because it can successfully break the shells its parrot-like 'beak'.
