My guess would be a Takifugu niphobles.

Thats what I thought too....but mine do not seeom to burrow into the sand like my Fugu occeleus and their skin is matt unlike the occeleus which is rather matellic and shiny....

Thanks...

This is a tough one, the 2nd pic made me think it was a target puffer of some sort but from those shots its too difficult to tell.

I think that it's a Takifugu niphobles that is maybe stressed or something.

I'm pretty sure its not a T. Niphobles, the head and nose looks wrong. Unfortunately I cannot offer an opinion of what it actuall is though. Are these markings displayed all the time?

If markings, you mean the dots...yes....they are yellowish golden. Probably the top few pics show the color but made wavy due to the waves.

Agreed more pics are required. I did start thinking it could be a tetraodon Cutcutia like Kass' specimen but I cant tell from those shots.

I actually considered that too, FW too which helps. More pics or a video would be even better if you can do that [:D]

Will get some within the next 2 days but definately not the one in http://puffernet.tripod.com/cutcutia.html.

This puffer is a swimmer (hunter) not a lurker...
