Fiji Puffer Questions

Anybody know anything about a Fiji Puffer?

Can it survive in a 35 gallon tank?

My LFS has one and I love how color it looks.

It is a member of the sharp nose family.

Can you identify it in the pufferpedia?

I don't think 35g would make a good SW tank. Too small to keep reasonably stable. And if the puff is even GSP sized it would be very small.

It looks exactly like this one:

Profile: Canthigaster papua
Common Name: Papuan Toby

I have decided against it. I've always wanted a reef aquarium and I think my 35 would make a nice small one to start.

Thanks though.
