Doesn't look like a puffer to me but I don't know sw puffers all that well.
OK, Probably a boxfish then :) thanks

Similar shape to these guys, wasn't sure about the mouth, and the markings .. but male and female are different, so who knows what the juveniles look like!

Where is it from? Maybe I'll see one tomorrow in the Caymans?
