Diodon Holocanthus fish - Pufferfish with St. Lucia's eye on wooden pedestal
The genus Diodon includes species of fish from the family Diodontidae with the ability to swell. Another of their characteristics is to have spines.
Here, the fish's eyes have been replaced, as is often done, with what is known as the St. Lucia's eye, which is the operculum of a shellfish, the turban shell.
When they feel in danger, Diodon inflate very quickly to frighten their aggressor. In fact they inflate by accumulating air or water in their esophagus until they take a spherical shape.
Variable height about 22-23cm.
