So my mind is drawing blanks in naming my new porcupine. The usual light brown with dark brown areas and beautiful blue eyes. It's about 3 to 4 inches in size, voracious, and still a bit shy although it does greet me at the glass. It'll be a singleton for now since the tank is already too small (55G), but when I do re-home it, I may try a co-inhabitant or two.
Before I get bashed for the tank size, I bought it two days ago from a friend who had it in a 29. I figured a 55 would be a little bit better until I move. (Lease is up at the end of October.) So right after that, I'm going to splurge. The 55 was originally meant for a Valentini, but I just couldn't help but "rescue" this little guy.
Help with a name?

Re: Help naming a puffer?
Hmm. I kind of like Quill, it's simple and obvious enough that I'm puzzled as to why it evaded me as a name. lol
I should also mention that there's a good bit of hermits in there that I bought as food, but he can't break their shell and he hasn't figured out how to suck them out either. But I think they're eating the aiptasia that was on the LR. Win Win I guess.
Any other takers on names?
