Havent posted here in a while, but recently saw a pic of a puffer and cant seem to work out what species it is???
Its supposedly a new F/W species from India??? But personally looks like some type of possible marine puffer to me, so looking to see if anyone here could ID him???
Thanks in advance...
Can someone ID this puffer???

A Chelonodon sp., probably C. patoca. Try a forum search for Chelonodon. There is a number of topics here on these and closely related puffers. I'd keep them in a marine tank.

I didn't think it was a FW puffer. Thanks, Corvus!
