WhyReef - Lifestyle

The porcupinefish mostly spends it time alone in caves or underneath corals during the day, or swimming around the reef and hunting for food by night. It will only be found with another porcupinefish when it is mating. Then, a male and female can be found together, or a group of males with a single female.
