Could someone please confirm the ID of these puffers:
I'm thinking of a T. turgidis or target puffer...

The red dot definately indicates a Fang's, but they generally grow to 7cm.

What kind of substrate do they need. Do they bury themselves?

I live in holland and get alot of puffer questions, because I have had alot over the past 7 years. But I always seem to have difficulty with the target group

Well,we try, but don't always have all the answers. I hope you come back to talk more about your puffers!
