Just a wild guess, but I'm gonna say about 4 inches long

It is another gorgeous puffer! Thanks for sharing these with us.

Looks to be the same but a pic of the fish free swimming would have helped better by way of comparisions.

Btw, I thought the Milk Spotted Puffer was trade/hobby name for Takifugu oblongus as those have white spots whereas these have yellow spots/vermiculations.

Thanks Folks,

some more pics by Banjo to gloat over
