The bearded puffer (Sphoeroides tyleri) is a species in the family Tetraodontidae (or pufferfish) which is typically found in marine coastal waters of the West Atlantic from Colombia to Southeastern Brazil.

[1] Bearded pufferfish grow to around 12 cm (4-7") and usually swim at a depth of around 10–80 metres.

They can be identified by three to four vague diagonal blotches on the lower cheek.

[1] Bearded pufferfish are molluscivores and therefore typically feed on crustaceans, molluscs and echinoderms.
