I enjoy feeding him live stuff and watching him go after it. Right now it's just snails and worms. Anything else I can use? He's about 2" long at the moment

Try Ghost Shrimp but quarantine them first.

Quarantined shrimp as mentioned above, or even smaller species of crays...

If its legal in your neck of the woods, Marble Crays make great feeders...

I gave mine small crayfish occasionally it would go wild on them!
Remember as your puffer gets older it is best to transition them to a brackish environment.

Where'd you get them from? It is in brackish water.

Where would one even get crays from
Really depends where you live, your local LFS / Fish Clubs / Online stores / Aquabid etc...
