Chelonodon dapsilis, known as the plentiful toby, is a species of pufferfish in the family Tetraodontidae. It is native to the Western Pacific, where it is endemic to Australia. It is a tropical fish found in both marine and brackish environments, being known from coastal estuaries, mangrove swamps, and sandy areas in marine waters.[1] The species is reported to be oviparous.[1] ITIS lists this species as a member of the genus Leiodon,[2] although WoRMS and FishBase both include it within Chelonodon.[3] It was first described by Gilbert Whitley in 1943, from a specimen collected from the Fitzroy River, in Queensland.[4][5]
