Havent posted here in a while, but recently saw a pic of a puffer and cant seem to work out what species it is???
Its supposedly a new F/W species from India??? But personally looks like some type of possible marine puffer to me, so looking to see if anyone here could ID him???
Thanks in advance...

A Chelonodon sp., probably C. patoca. Try a forum search for Chelonodon. There is a number of topics here on these and closely related puffers. I'd keep them in a marine tank.

I didn't think it was a FW puffer. Thanks, Corvus!
