SW puffers are not my strength, but the fish in
this forum thread must be a burrfish of some kind? Can someone (i.e. Corvus
) ID this species?

but I am sure someone will beat me to it.

my guess:
Chilomycterus affinis pacific burr fish
other possibilities: depending on where the fish was caught;
Cyclichthys hardenbergi (Australia)
Chilomycterus spinosus spinosus (SW Atlantic)

Chilomycterus spinosus in my opinion

it does look that way... the dark spots are in the right areas and the colouration is exact.
