What the crud is this fish?
http://www.saltwaterfish.com is selling a fish under puffers called a "Star Puffer" which they are saying is an arothron stellatus. First of all, I doubt it is... but second of all, if so they really shouldn't sell it . Anywho, curiosity is killing me, so if anyone can identify, that'd be great.
Thanks,
J Bishop

Juvenile mappa maybe?
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.

Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Give a fish a man, and he'll eat for weeks.
