Masked Puffer

Alternative names: Arothron diadematus

The Masked pufferfish is a pufferfish that can only be found in the Red Sea. It is a small olive-green fish which has a dark banding around its eyes, similar to a mask.
An interesting and strange thing about this fish is that it uses its own sperm in order to create a nest because the sperm masks their smell.

The main regions where it has been spotted:

Dahab

Gulf Of Aqaba

Red Sea

Sharm El Sheikh

Eilat
