Just got a new porcupine puffer, he is in Qt and i noticed that both his eyes have specks on them and are not clear. It dosn't look like cloudy eyes to me, Just wondering
if it is normal or not. It really reflects when the lights are on

Thanks.. Lou

I think several puffers have this iridescence to their eyes. My Palembang has strange-looking eyes too.
Best of luck with your Porcupine, they are so cute! :D

Thanks for the quick replys, I feel better about him now, and he has captured the hearts all my family with his cute personality too. Lou..

Be nice to see the whole of him in a pic! He does have a very pretty eye though!

Looks pretty normal to me, too...you see this often in various kinds of puffers, but it seems like all the porcs I've seen have those Tiffany glass eyes.

Looks more like a burrfish to me!

I was going to say the same thing. Mighty light color for a Porc. Got a full body pic?

I was going to say the same thing--that is not a Diodon. How is it's eating, ok? Round belly?

Beautiful eyes, BTW!
