Oh yes. It changes its colors dramatically. At night it is brown with white blotches. The blue and the black lines are entirely gone.

WOW! Now THAT is one impressive-looking Canthigaster! I'm guessing that's a pretty rare puffer?

Quite common at some coastal areas in the Western Atlantic, but - at least in Germany - this is the first import I am aware of.
