Arothron stellatus (Anonymous, 1798)
Stellate puffer, 120.0cm

These were common in various sites around Bali including Gilimanuk, Puri Jati, Tulamben and Amed. We saw more small juveniles than adults.

With a couple of Labroides dimidiatus cleaning out the gills.

Sleeping among some rocks.

This one was hanging around a mooring line at Melasti at Amed in November 2024.
