A body covered with spines is the reason why a Saltwater Fish has the name porcupine puffer. The ability to inflate their bodies to twice the ordinary vertical size and to make porcupine-reminiscent sharp spines project even further outward serve as the Diodontidae family member's two main defenses. Porcupine puffers tend to be popular with saltwater aquarium owners because of docile behavior, slow speeds and unusual looks.
