Introducing RAPUNZEL - a GORGEOUS globefish aka pufferfish that asked me to do some selfie videos with her to share on Pink Tank Scuba - how could I refuse!

Proof that sometimes your best friend can be an inflating fish

[@lordnems997]

I've had salt water tanks and puffer fish are amazing.
Also for the people wondering about the "Parasite"
I'm 95% sure it's sea weed that got hooked up on one of the fake spines and not a parasite. There was a smaller one dangling from another area that wasn't there later.
And it looks like the plants in the background. So relax.

[@Glimmerling]

Rapunzel is a perfect name for that cutie with the long yellow fin. It was so curious and brave! Lucky thing you were friendly.

[@strongholdmuzinaki]

that's a parasite, dude

[@Glimmerling]

Really? Do you know what kind?

[@peashootz9917]

Marissa Chenoweth probably a worm

[@kalimbeemusic5633]

It's seaweed

[@criticalthinkingconcubus]

The fact that it didn’t inflate meant that it didn’t see the diver as a threat.

It’s moments like these that make me cry with joy. I had a similar experience today with a puffer during a drift dive. Too special for words 🥲 I’ve recently become a vegetarian because animals, all of them, are too vulnerable and too beautiful to serve up on a plate. Just look into their eyes, you’ll see. ❤️

Don't ever let japanese approach that place or the next time you will find your little friend is in the sashime restaurant

Firman Hermawan Really? Don't you think that is a gross generalisation? Pretty sure japanese aren't the worst offenders when it comes to overfishing.

[@jakeblakesley1765]

Firman Hermawan, that's racist, I have a Japanese friend that likes puffer fish alive and secondly that is a porcupine puffer and not the kind used as a delicacy.

[@iamzon2635]

Every time I hit it ..it says oops that page can't be found

[@Elebuu]

@@iamzon2635 it's not there anymore, but interviews I found on storyful and elsewhere say the sad story is the diver found kinship with the fish after her personal struggle with diagnosis of terminal cancer.
I *also* for some reason could NOT let go of the whole parasite thing, so after a couple of traumatic hours on Google I finally found some research papers talking about polyclad flatworms that look a lot like this. However, it seems there's a loosely symbiotic relationship here--eating these flatworms is apparently one way that pufferfish become poisonous.
I just had to share that after...some of the things...i...saw.... shudders
