Hangata e ferekanngwa le: The yellow colour forms are very similar to those of Arothron meleagris, but they can be told apart. The fully yellow form is much rarer in this species (about 1% of individuals, compared with 10% in A. meleagris). It usually keeps dark markings around the mouth, eyes and base of the dorsal fin, while A. meleagris is uniformly yellow with black spots.1
