West African Sharpnose Puffer
Canthigaster supramacula
Canthigaster supramacula, known as the West African Sharpnose-puffer, is a species of marine fish in the family Tetraodontidae. It was first isolated from the coast of central Africa, in the Atlantic Ocean. It is named in reference to the conspicuous ocellus-like spot on its side, anterior to its dorsal fin's base.
