porcupine puffers spikes
okay i bought a porcupine puffer a couple weeks ago from a local fish store and hes doing well now but it was pretty beat up from transport and some of his spikes are broken and limp. i was wondering if they will heal and or fall off so he will look normal.

Yes, they will heal. Some may fall off though & new ones will grow back. Look into SW Melafix for him. How are the parameters in his tank? Do you have live rock & a protein skimmer?

Be sure it is the SW kind or your skimmer is going to go nuts.
