The diet of the pufferfish includes mostly invertebrates and algae. Large specimens will even crack open and eat clams, mussels, and shellfish with their hard beaks. Poisonous puffers are believed to synthesize their deadly toxin from the bacteria in the animals they eat.

What marine animal eats blowfish?

I have been wondering the same thing re: blowfish for crayfish bait. I know that on the west coast of Australia in Perth, people have caught large snapper and tailor which have had small blowfish in the gut. I have not personally seen this but then again, I've not been catching overly massive snapper or tailor. My question was more directed at what happens to the crayfish if you were to use blowfish for bait? 1) would they eat it - my guess, probably considering crabs will eat blowfish 2) would this make the crayfish poisonous for consumption??
