The Puffer Forum

What the crud is this fish?
http://www.saltwaterfish.com is selling a fish under puffers called a "Star Puffer" which they are saying is an arothron stellatus. First of all, I doubt it is... but second of all, if so they really shouldn't sell it . Anywho, curiosity is killing me, so if anyone can identify, that'd be great.
Thanks,
