I was first to id this photo. After your question I did some research. I still stand as it being Arothron caerulopunctatusPuffer Queen wrote:Profile: Arothron caerulopunctatus
Common Name: Blue-spotted Puffer
This is not a caeruleopunctatus - it is a hispidus.
Caeruleonigropunctatus can approach almost 5 feet in the wild!!
Some call it a product of a mis-spent youth, I call it Rock n Roll !

I have seen a 26 inch one in captivity and the spots are truly blue not white. I have pics on my home computer that I can share.

If you want to use any of my puffer pics on this page, feel free. Let me know if you want to and need to know which is which, but you can probably figure it out.

Rocker, I just emailed you a document that I just quickly typed up on the Spiny Boxfish puffer. I even included a photo of one that I got permission for as long as I added them in my references.
Everybody doing those articles gave the idea to type one up since I do have one of these puffers.
I feel it will be a great addition to the Pufferpedia.

It looks like the "classic" arothron hispidus.
All the pictures and the one I actually saw in captivity, of the caeruleonigropunctatus have the circles (varying numbers) around the eyes. The fins have spots as well.
Check out the new picture here.
