Default my new porcupine puffer.





for size reference, over my 120 reef



A friend had him hanging in his hobby shop for the last 20 yrs. Been bugging him to sell it to me all that time, he finally caved in and sold it to me yesterday.

Those Kessils look hot on your tank. Very nice colour that tuna blue.

I'd be a little worried about that puffer falling on my head! Looks cool though :-)

yeah, his spines are really sharp and pointy. I've always wanted a stuffed puffer, but everytime I go on vacation now, never see them for sale at local markets. In the old days, used to see them everywhere. I guess cites includes "dead fish" lol
