When it is in its gray stage, it appears gray, with black markings on the mouth, eyes, and dorsal fin. The pectoral fins are an appearance that is yellow.

Arothron Dog Face Puffer is an excellent tank addition because of its personality and distinctive appearance. It is able to eat invertebrates inside a reef tank.
