Puffer ID

[HarleyK]

Howdy,

I saw this guy in an LFS, labeled as Neon Green Puffer". Any Latin name on hand?

Thanks,
HarleyK

looks like a Auriglobus silus to me. Common name is the golden puffer. I could be very wrong though

I'm thinking Auriglobus Modestus

i'm guessing it could be Auriglobus modestus as well since it doesn't seem to be as bright yellow/gold as the Auriglobus silus

A silus is thinner & more narrow-bodied than the modestus, which has a deeper chest.

Here's my modestus:

Thanks, all. Seems like modestus. Appreciate the input

Actually, with the more pointed snout & slimmer body, I was leaning towards silus.
