Canthigaster criobe, known as the striped toby, is a species of pufferfish in the family Tetraodontidae. It is known only from French Polynesia, where it occurs at a depth range of 15 to 20 m (49 to 66 ft).
Etymology
It was named for the Centre de Recherche Insulaire et Observatoire de l'Environnement (CRIOBE), Moorea, French Polynesia, in recognition of the laboratory's continued support of marine research in the area.
Description
The holotype's length was 3.9 cm (1.5 in) SL. A subsequent specimen was 4.4 cm SL. It has multiple thin brown stripes along its body, a feature which sets it apart from its congeners.
