I can think of something, Calvin, does your puffer have place(s) where he can hide completely? A cave perhaps?

Still a good meaty food, like a worm.

When you say discoloration, do you at all mean brown stripes that appear on the underbelly below the green spots. My puffer fish, Hef, whenever he gets really hungry or has a water change, he gets stripes that appear right underneath the green spots that are a dull brown color. They go away as soon as he's settled but is this normal?

I had the same experience with my gsps so I'm going to say... yes.
29 Gallon Marine tank, with refugium, skimmer. Base rock, coral skeletons. Stock: Baby Ocellaurus Clown, young Saddled Toby, 3 Hermit crabs,one 2 inch Bristle Worm, hitch hiking starfish.

10g Biotope. 3 C. Travancoricus (Dwarf Puffer) Some Ghost shrimp, gravel/sand substrate, heavily planted with Swords and Java Moss.

10g LR Culture Tank. 10+ pounds fiji LR / base rock. Assorted hitch hiking inverts

Some FW tanks.

In My Experience, Fishkeeping is like Cooking. Five or ten basics will keep anyone from getting sick. But to be truly magnificent... You have to know the right Recipies.
