If you've only had him for two months, give him time. He's a small guy too. Porkies are loner fish really. They don't school with other fish and usually swim alone. They are noctural creatures and prefer to not have bright lights & have rocky caves to sleep under. He may come around more, or look at you from a shaded area. If your curious how active he can be, get a blue LED flashlight and explore your tank at night. You will be surprised what you find. Its a whole other world. Very cool though. He's still young so Krill, or RAW shrimp is fine for him. When he gets older he will start to snack on other things. Trust me. He will get bored.
 Give him time.

Yes, raw shrimp, prawns, scallops, etc. NOT cooked. My wife's porky is big and he's also kinda shy during the day.
I believe Porcupine puffers are primarily nocturnal (at least Poofy is) and large aggressive feeders, like tangs, triggers, and large angels might intimidate it during the day. At night, ours is always out and about, but during the day, its out mostly when we're feeding krill, freeze dried shrimp or other seafood. We also collect shore crabs or hitchhikers (from LFS) to give him a treat. Little puffers are also much more shy than bigger ones. I'm sure it'll be fine in the long run. Anthony
