$Birdbeak Burrfish Cyclichthys orbicularis occurs in tropical waters of the Indo-West Pacific from the Red Sea and East Africa to the Philippines, north to southern Japan, south to Australia and New Caledonia and in the Southeast Atlantic at the south coast of South Africa in a depth range from 9 to 170m, max. length 30cm. \n\nThe nocturnal species inhabits clear protected reefs with sponge and algal habitats, staying often in large sponges during the day. Cyclichthys orbicularis occasionally occurs on reefs, but usually over sand and mud bottoms. \nThe species feeds on hard-shelled invertebrates. \n\nInterestingly, this fish can puff up its body by ingesting water, transforming into a spiny ball as a defense mechanism, which reduces its mobility but deters predators. His chemical defense mechanism is more effective than the swimming away: Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin found in various marine organisms, including Cyclichthys orbicularis. It can be lethal to non-resistant fish species. The estimated lethal dose of TTX in humans is around 2 mg of pure toxin. Even small amounts can cause severe symptoms. \n\nThis specimen was encountered in the Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia\n1°27'13.104 N 125°14'14.634 E at 13m depth$

$Japanese Inflator Filefish Brachaluteres ulvarum is primarily associated with the waters of the Northwest Pacific around Japan, but it has been documented in Indonesian regions such as the Lembeh Strait in North Sulawesi, usually in a depth range from 25 to 30m, this specimen slightly shallower in Flowerpot coral Goniopora sp. \nMax. length is 7.5cm.\n\nThe secretive species inhabits bottoms with green seaweed on deep coastal slopes, usually among soft corals and feeds on algae and crabs. Like puffers, Brachaluteres ulvarum is capable of inflating its body. \n\nMany species occur in the Lembeh Strait at a shallower depth than elsewhere: with little current and relatively dark water, it appears to be deeper. \n\nLembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia \n1°27'39.69 N 125°14'33.342 E at 20m depth$

Thornback Cowfish - Lactoria penthacantha

The Longhorn Cowfish or the horned boxfish (lat. Lactoria cornuta) is a very attractive fish from the Indian-Pacific region, with an unusual body shape and bright yellow color.

One Scrawled Filefish (Aluterus scriptus) swims above the coral reef. Also known as Scribbled Filefish, Scribbled Leatherjacket Filefish, Broom-tail File, Broomtail Filefish, Filefish, Scrawled Fiiefish, Scrawled Leatherjacket, Scribbled Filefish, Scribbled Fish, Scrolled Filefish and Tobacco fish. They are predatory solitary creatures that feed on corals and jellyfish. This is a typical demonstration of their primal instinctive behaviour.

$Pacific Crown Toby Canthigaster axiologus occurs in the tropical Pacific from Japan to Australia, east to the Marshall Islands and Tonga; with records from Western Australia, from Exmouth Gulf northwards in a depth range from 10 to 80m, max. length 10.1 cm.\n\nThe species occurs in sheltered habitat, often on open sand and rubble bottom near reefs. The saddles do not extend onto the belly, unlike those of the Blacksaddle Toby, Canthigaster valentini. \n\nCanthigaster axiologus was previously considered to be a synonym of Canthigaster coronata, which is found only at Johnston Atoll and the Hawaiian Islands in the Central Pacific.\n\nThis specimen was encountered in the Lembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°28'55.728 N 125°14'17.256 E at 23m depth$
