A pufferfish's diet can vary depending on its environment.
Traditionally, their diet consists mostly of algae and small invertebrates.
They can survive on a completely vegetarian diet if their environment is lacking resources, but prefer an omnivorous food selection.
Larger species of pufferfish are able to use their beak-like front teeth to break open clams, mussels, as well as other shellfish.
Some species of pufferfish have also been known to enact various hunting techniques ranging from ambush to open water hunting.
