Lagocephalus lunaris, also known as the Lunar-tail puffer, is a type of fish in the family Tetraodontidae. It lives in areas in the Indo-Pacific, and its habitat is in areas of coastal marine waters, up to depths of 150 meters deep in sandy bottoms, coastal reefs^[1], estuaries and mangroves. This fish is listed as least concern, due to it overlapping many marine protected areas.^[2] It has a max length up to 45 centimeters in length, and eats marine invertebrates as its food source, and contains poison that makes it dangerous to consume.^[1]
