It seems for the last ten years I've been getting the common name of a species of fish wrong. I've been referring to Canthigaster capistrata as the Macronesian sharpnose puffer, and this error has also been subsequently perpetuated by anyone who has asked me to help them identify this particular species.
This is in fact the Macaronesian sharpnose puffer. |
Massive thanks to my fellow species hunting friend Donny for noticing this mistake and bringing it to my attention. Just goes to show that you should always double-check what I tell you by doing your own research too! Sometimes, I get things wrong!
Tight lines, Scott.
