I have been abit slack on getting these pics on here, i went to visit my puffer at the aquarium a few months ago and obviously took some pics! he has grown loads and is now abit of a fatty! His tank has 3/4 of a million gallons of water in it, which makes it the perfect home!
Enjoy!

He must be the luckiest captive puffer alive!
I really must take another trip to the Plymouth Aquarium to see him - I'll take some more pics & let you know how he is.

That's got to be the best "rehoming" ever!! No need to worry with your puffer having such a huge home and living as close as possible to a natural life in a tank that big. I think it's fantastic, and you still get to see him too! :D
