I saw this little fellow in a lfs. Immediately fell in love. When we asked the owner some questions about the guy he did´t know a lot. Seems he ordered the holo for himself but then decided to stop with his tank.
Is in there for some months now. I would love to try to make this little guy better but don´t have the room for a 1,5m saltwater tank.

That's one of those Orbitus (sp?) puffers. The name has something to do with it's BIG eyes.

You mean Cyclichthys orbicularis.
Possible.
Would need a good sideview for proper ID.

Owh so he stays smaller. Would he fit into a 110 gallon tank?
Does anybody knows something about this puffer, character ect.

That's not a good sideview... that's a cell phone video. Ever tried comparing a video to an ID key... it annoys me.
And no, it does not stay smaller.
However, I think you might be able to keep it in a 110 gallon tank if you have good filtration and skip tank mates.
