Sphoeroides angusticeps, also known as the narrow-headed puffer, concave puffer, and skin-flap puffer, is a species of pufferfish in the family Tetraodontidae.[1][2][3] It is a tropical marine species endemic to the Galapagos Islands, where it occurs at a depth range of about 5 to 20 m (16 to 66 ft).[1][3] It reaches 25 cm (9.8 in) in total length. The species is thought to be diurnal, hovering just above the substrate by day and burying itself at night.[1][3]
