I have no idea what it is. Checked pufferpedia, fishbase and a puffer species list I own. Could this be the elusive Javichthys kailolae?

Puffer ID?
I found this picture on a blog, http://tidechaser.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html and I don't know what it is. According to the blog, it was caught at Pulau Ubin, Chek Jawa, Singapore in marine water.

Re: Puffer ID?
Probably a small, terribly frightend Arothron immaculatus:
See here:

and

Not a deep water species like the one you suggested.

Re: Puffer ID?
Update: I found another picture of what seems to be the same species on the same website:
Ithink you are right in saying it is Arothron immaculatus:

"Two cute little pufferfishes were also seen. They were probably the Yelloweye puffer (Arothron immaculatus), which we've not seen before!"
