I believe its a Arothron reticularis, otherwise known as a Reticulated Puffer. You can find info on it in the pufferpedia under marine puffers.

That's the species that was said above, reticulated. Marine, very large puffer.

The puffer in our logo image is owned by a member here actually.

Some juvies of marine species will occasionally "visit" FW but don't stay there for long & definately won't live long kept in FW permanently. Did you read the profile for this species?

Please let us know what your plans are for this saltwater fish. What size tank do you have for it? What size is the fish now?

That's good enough, we can see it though the link.

Definately looks like a very unhappy reticulated to me (dark colors, clamped tail, big belly but the oversized eyes say its not growing properly).

I'd start getting that guy switched over to saltwater and start thinking about getting a HUGE tank for it. That or find it a new home ASAP.
