that is awesome! if i ever go diving, its going to be somewhere that is popular for seeing puffers so i can possibly encounter this. probably almost exactly what my GSP would do because he is trusting, hed probably be a little more cautious than that, but he does let me touch him and rubs himself on my finger when i put it in the water

That's the fish that got me falling in love with puffers :love:
The law office where my sister worked had one that just loved people. He spent all his time at the glass smiling at everyone and charming the socks off them.

Gosh I wish they were reef safe!! Thanks for sharing, I loved it.

That kind of behavior out in the open in the wild like that is extremely rare! All the puffers I've ever encountered were very shy. I never understand that, since they have 3 forms of defense.
