Often the colours are not as bold as shown in the photo and they can be more subtle with the puffer having more of a uniform colour. Stripes may show faintly giving this puffer the common name of Zebra Puffer. This puffer is similar in appearance to the Chonerhinos naritus, particularly in the facial area. This may lead to some confusion when purchasing.

Sometimes confused with the Colomesus asellus, this puffer originates from the Western Atlantic (Gulf of Paria to the Amazon River in Brazil) and usually inhabits shallow inshore waters usually on soft bottoms. This allows it to survive in almost all water conditions.
