If that is Arothron stellatus, or Starry puffer ... that cute little guy will grow to be about 120cm or about 4-feet long!!! :shock:

Yes the ID seems right.

However the 1,2 metres or 4 feet are questionable in my opinion. 90 cm or 3 feet is more realistic with regard to truly measured specimens (leaving those away that were guessed by divers). Still too large for home aquariums.
