I've never owned one, but they are generally your typical lurker species.. hide most of the time, like to burrow, attack anything that swims by...

Re: Puffer ID for a noob Please!!
I'm a proud owner of a Palembang (Homer)... and as Myaj has said, they basically just lurk/hide 99% of the time, with movement related normally to food (if they are hungry) or just to hang out in another spot within the tank...
As for aggressiveness, its a bit of a gamble... Like homer has lived happily with my tire track eel for almost a year now, but with other fish, such as Chinese Algae eaters, tetras and other similar fish tend to turn to fish food within a matter of days of going in...
