ID this PUFFER!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
^ I agree it looks like a dwarf puffer to me with those colors, just the pattern maybe a little different to normal...

To me, without the red eyes that are commonly seen on the Irrubessco, and Loreti, i just don't think its either one...
 
There are now considered to be two species of pea or dwarf puffer, may be there are regional variations. C. imitator was only identified in 1999 and these comments are interesting...The C. imitator male is identifiable by a "keel" and "comb" created with the ability to erect their dorsal and ventral ridges. .. I have an adobe article somewhere that describes the details more explicitly.
