No Dog faced Pufferfish dont have spines like porcipine puffers

He has one on his fin which could be a bubble it is so tiny i cant tell, since we have had him he loves swimming in bubbles you see. The ones on his body are not bubbles and seem to be more in his body rather than sitting on top! My partner seems to think it is where the picasso nipped him, but i am...
