Fish Identification, please...

Post by billysgirl4e »

What the crud is this fish?
http://www.saltwaterfish.com is selling a fish under puffers called a "Star Puffer" which they are saying is an arothron stellatus. First of all, I doubt it is... but second of all, if so they really shouldn't sell it :-(. Anywho, curiosity is killing me, so if anyone can identify, that'd be great.
Thanks,
J Bishop

Juvenile mappa maybe?

I'd say juvenile A. stellatus like this one:

Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Give a fish a man, and he'll eat for weeks.
