In stock and eating
The False-Eye Toby, also called the Papuan toby, is a small puffer covered in blue-green spots, with blue lines around the eyes and a dark, blue-ringed spot at the base of the dorsal fin. This listing is a medium-size fish. Adults reach about 4 inches and need hard-shelled meaty foods to keep the beak worn down. It nips corals, invertebrates and slow fins, so plan a fish-only tank with one puffer.
