Smile! It's #TwoTruthsTuesday featuring species on #NationalMarineSanctuariesStamps!
Do you know which of these three statements isn't true about the balloonfish? Let us know in the comments!
1. The dazzling smile of a balloonfish hides a set of powerful teeth that can crush the shells of snails, urchins, and crabs.
2. Balloonfish are often encountered on night dives.
3. Balloonfish swell up like a balloon when trying to attract a mate.

Would Myrtle the turtle be the one who got a pufferfish stuck in her mouth when I was there a few years ago? The vets had to take her out to deflate it and someone who worked there told my aunt that it wasn’t the first time she had done that
i haven’t personally heard about that incident, but it definitely wouldn’t surprise me to hear that either her or our two other turtles (retread and carolina are our loggerheads, one is mostly blind and the other has neurological issues hence they’re both non-releasable and get into plenty of shenanigans of their own) would do such things. hell, our nurse shark had a similar run-in with one of our balloonfish within a week of joining the GOT population iirc… nothing too scary, she just nipped at one out of curiosity and it inflated and scared her, but still very funny. incidents of predation or aggression between conspecifics is rare in that tank, but incidents of its residents making fools of themselves in front of the general public are MUCH more common than you might think

Essay about pufferfish
Tetraodontidae is a family of primarily marine and estuarine fish of the order Tetraodontiformes. The family includes many familiar species variously called pufferfish, puffers, balloonfish, blowfish, blowers, blowies, bubblefish, globefish, swellfish, toadfish, toadies, toadle, honey toads, sugar toads, and sea squab.[1] They are morphologically similar to the closely related porcupinefish, which have large external spines (unlike the thinner, hidden spines of the Tetraodontidae, which are only visible when the fish have puffed up). The scientific name refers to the four large teeth, fused into an upper and lower plate, which are used for crushing the hard shells of crustaceans and mollusks, their natural prey.
The majority of pufferfish species are toxic and some are among the most poisonous vertebrates in the world. In certain species, the internal organs, such as the liver, and sometimes the skin, contain tetrodotoxin, and are highly toxic to most animals when eaten; nevertheless, the meat of some species is considered a delicacy in Japan (as 河豚, pronounced fugu), Korea (as 복, bok, or 복어, bogeo), and China (as 河豚, hétún) when prepared by specially trained chefs who know which part is safe to eat and in what quantity. Other pufferfish species with nontoxic flesh, such as the northern puffer, Sphoeroides maculatus, of Chesapeake Bay,[2] are considered a delicacy elsewhere.[3]
The species Torquigener albomaculosus was described by David Attenborough as "the greatest artist of the animal kingdom" due to the males' unique habit of wooing females by creating nests in sand composed of complex geometric designs.[4]

Diving Spots in Curacao
Tumblr media
Watamula Northernmost diving spot, a rugged, original submarine adventure completely different from any other spot. Also a beautiful cave. Sometimes rough sea, hard and/or unpredictable current.Look out for Great Gorgons, Sponges and Anemones. Crabs and Lobsters. Sea turtles. Huge Moray eels, and most likely great Barracudas, Manta and Sharks. Most dive operators on island's west side do scheduled trips to Watamula. Playa Kalki Because of its beauty, and also easy accessibility this diving spot is regarded as one of Curaçao’s best and most popular. Since conditions are mostly calm also popular snorkeling spot.Look out for a wide range of different Corals, Sponges and Anemones in a beautifully undulated underwater landscape. Groupers, Barracudas, Huge Moray eels, Sharks, Lobsters, Octopus, Sea turtles. Playa Jeremi Fishing boats pulled up onto the tiny beach add local charm. Playa Jeremi is located just past Soto and Lagun, with a beach covered with coarse sand and volcanic stones. Explore the wall to find large heads of mountainous star coral, orange cup corals, trumpet fish and a lot of typical reef fish and other sea creatures. Playa Lagun Narrow beach between giant rock formations. 450ft / 150m swim to the reef. Usually schools of different colorful fish. Leads direct to “Mushroom Forest”.Look out for beautiful coral formations and caves. Anemones and Sponges. Sea turtles and Seahorses. Trumpetfish, Groupers. Mushroom Forrest An other of Curaçao’s most beautiful dive sites. A gently sloping reef with gigantic mushroom shaped coral formations – thousands of years old. Nice pictures… Most dive operators do scheduled trips to Mushroom Forest.Look out for beautiful coral formations. Anemones. Sea turtles. Squids, Snappers, Morays, Trumpetfish. Black Coral Gardens As the name tells you, here is the garden you wished you had. A good balance between hard- and soft coral. Large purple tube sponges and barrel sponges are to be seen here. On this dive you have a good change on rainbow runners, Creole wrasses and large porcupine fish. Also here frogfish can be found, so keep your eyes open. Porto Marie One of the most beautiful and best kept beaches on Curaçao. Drop-off 100 m from shore to a scenic double reef. Excellent for beginners. Easy access from beach. Entrance fee.Look out for Sea turtles, Nursesharks, Barracudas, Stingrays, Morays, Scorpionfish, Balloonfish, Parrotfish, Trunkfish, Angelfish. Vaersenbaai In the Vaersenbaai, there are 3 dive spots. Look out for large giant split- pore sea rods are inhabited by schools of grunts and schoolmasters and large brain corals.Superior ProducerSuperior ProducerJust of the coast of Willemstad lies a wreck, attractively overgrown. Easy to reach from shore, just out from Holiday Beach Hotel, the wreck lies parallel to the reef in water 100ft / 30m deep. A most enjoyable diving experience!Look out for interesting details. Part of the vessel is beautifully overgrown by corals. Common reef fish and patrolling Barracudas, Groupers & Jacks. Tug Boat Just of the eastern shore of Caracasbaai island, at a depth of a mere 25 ft, lays one of the most attractive wrecks in the Caribbean. A small tugboat, which sunk a long time ago, covered with huge coral formations. A photographer’s studio and a most recommended site for night dive. The rather shallow location makes Tugboat a fantastic snorkeling experience. Just southeast of the wreck you have a beautiful vertical wall down to 90ft / 30m. Calm water at Tugbut, but be aware of unpredictable current at the wall.Look out for schools of Soldierfish, Damselfish & Snappers. Morays, Trumpetfish Read the full article
