Blowfish Emoji
What does the Blowfish emoji mean?
A blowfish (also called a pufferfish) appears to be swimming to the left, its round, inflated body suggesting motion. Often shown in warm browns or oranges — though colors can vary — it’s usually used to represent aquariums and marine life.
This remarkable fish is famous worldwide for its dramatic ability to inflate. Meet the Hedgehog Fish. When it inflates, it puffs up and becomes covered in spines, a bluff that startles would-be predators. Its little smiling face is shown in a light brown hue with a small dot.
These fish can increase their size in seconds, raising their thorns to defend against attacks. They are eaten in Japan, but only with extreme caution—this species contains a deadly poison.
