Sharpnose puffers have some serious defense moves! 🐡💪 1️⃣ Puff Up: They inflate with water, making themselves harder to swallow. 2️⃣ Toxic Armor: Their flesh and mucus are poisonous—deadly if eaten. 3️⃣ Body Boost: They flex their muscles to enlarge when feeling threatened. Small but mighty! 🌊✨ #PufferPower #OceanDefense
