Identification of new puffer

[James Roberts]

Howdy all,

Just received a new puffer. It was supposed to be a Orange Saddled Fugu, but........ I have a high salinity brackish environment and am worried that this little guy is going to have trouble. Please see the pics and let me know what you think he might be. He is very very young and quite small. He seems to be getting around fine, curious about the new surroundings, eating well, finding plenty of hiding spots, etc.

Kind of looks like takifugu xanthopterus. But I'm no puffer expert.

I will check into that species. I am also checking with the folks I ordered him from to see if they know. They do not have any puffers of this description on their web site though. Thank you for the possible match.
