The bearded puffer, Sphoeroides tyleri, is a species in the family Tetraodontidae (or pufferfish) which is typically found in marine coastal waters of the West Atlantic from Colombia to Southeastern Brazil.[1]
Bearded pufferfish grow to around 12 cm (4-7") and usually swim at a depth of around 10–80 metres. They can be identified by three to four vague diagonal blotches on the lower cheek.[1] Bearded pufferfish are molluscivores and therefore typically feed on crustaceans, molluscs and echinoderms.[1]
