Agropuffers

Agropuffers (agrotetraodonidae) are a small family of marine pufferfish. They can be found in coastal reefs worldwide. Agropuffers are descended from Guineafowl puffers. Each different species has it's own pattern, and every pattern is different, therefore every single fish has its own unique look.

Agropuffers measure from 8 inches to 2.5 feet in length. They look exactly like their ancestors, the only key observation is that their teeth are stained orange. This orange color is due to trace amounts of iron that prevent their teeth from wearing down too fast. An Agropuffer's teeth wear down extremely quickly due to their diet.

Agropuffers eat coral and sometimes shellfish. Feeding on coral is done in a rather unique way that demonstrates the complex brainpower of pufferfish. Corals are farmed by agropuffers by transplanting pieces of coral into new spots after feeding. This practice allows for preexisting corals to gain more space to grow and new corals to replicate. Coral husbandry by Agropuffers allows for reefs to spread and the aquatic ecosystem to heal after the extinction.
