Type of puffer?
What type of porcupine puffer is this? The eyes are bigger than any I've seen. Found this at my LFS.

Looks like a porcupine puffer. Did you get a side shot to rule out a burrfish?
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Def a baby porcupine
Re: Type of puffer?
Thank you. I've just never seen eyes that big on a Porc. I've just set up a 150G tank for a Porc and I'm looking. This one has been at my LFS for 2 weeks and was a bit shy the first few times I was in there. now he follows my finger around the front of the glass. Not as active as a few more I've seen though. guess it could be cause he's so young?

Usually eye like that mean possible emaciation. Side pic would help.
