That looks seriously photoshopped to me, we will see what Corvus has on this?
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Definitely photoshopped. The face looks very much like a porc though.

Re: Has anyone seen this Puffer before?
I just emailed the guy that owns the website asking if it was real and not photoshopped and this was his response:-
Absolutely!! Shot in New Guinea if I remember correctly but to be more accurate I have to check my records. All my photos are real and shot in the wild. I NEVER shoot captive animals or manipulate photos in photoshop.

Check out his photos on his website, there's some nice pix on there

Re: Has anyone seen this Puffer before?
Yeah, Im not going to say photoshopped. There are really some really rare species out in the blue ocean that has yet to be discovered. There was just an angelfish that was just discovered here recently, that being displayed at a public aquarium.

Re: Has anyone seen this Puffer before?
It's a Diodontid but beyond that I have no clue.
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

Re: Has anyone seen this Puffer before?
Looks like a very young juvenile. My guess is Cyclichthys, either Cyclichthys orbicularis or Cyclichthys hardenbergi.But that's really mostly a guess based on the spines, juveniles that small are not often illustrated or used for ID.

Re: Has anyone seen this Puffer before?
IDK as noted above I based this just on the spines. The very small juveniles of marine puffers and diodontids can have weird colors ( D. hystrix are deep blue e.g., small A. reticularis are black, A. stellatus are deep red, the yellow then grey...), though I would not call this one extremely colored.
