Torquigener albomaculosus

''Torquigener albomaculosus'', or the White-spotted pufferfish, is the twentieth discovered〔 species of the genus ''Torquigener''. The species was discovered in the ocean waters around the Ryukyu Islands in Japan off the south coast of Amamioshima Island.〔 Observed depths of the species range between ten to twenty-seven meters.〔 The fish's head and body are colored brown with white spots at the back.〔 Its abdomen is silvery-white with white spots.〔
The males are known for creating circular-shaped nests in the sand, measuring two meters in diameter.〔Matsuura, K. (2014) : (A new pufferfish of the genus ''Torquigener'' that builds “mystery circles” on sandy bottoms in the Ryukyu Islands, Japan (Actinopterygii: Tetraodontiformes: Tetraodontidae) ). ''Ichthyological Research, 62 (2): 207-212.''〕 Such nest designs were noticed since 1995, but their creation remained a mystery until the species' discovery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 website=BBC Earth )〕 The nests are created to attract mates through the nest's impressive design and ability to gather fine sand particles, both of which influence a female's mate choice.〔 Males never reuse a nest.〔 As of 2014, the white-spotted pufferfish is thought to be the only species of pufferfish that create the shapes.〔
In 2015, the International Institute for Species Exploration names it as one of the "Top 10 New Species" for new species discovered in 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.esf.edu/top10/ )
