My wife's Porcupine Puffer is a little character too

They really make it worth setting up a fowlr (actually Poofie is how I got my wife to think setting up a fowlr was HER idea )

He mostly stays in one of his caves or tunnels but as soon as we go near, especially if we have a bamboo skewer (how we feed him Krill & Prawns), he comes right out & starts to beg. He is especially good at getting Irene to overfeed him

Thanks for sharing the story & picture. Our's only puffed up when I first bought him at Hidden Reef and when I added a Purple Tang into "HIS" tank.

Anthony,

Do you have any pics of your Puffer and FOWLR set up? I would love to see it if you do!

My guy seems to puff quite often actually. I was really worried about it at first but when he does it, he really does not seem stressed and its usually just for about 10 seconds and then he goes back to doing whatever he was doing. I have asked a bunch of people and apparently they sometimes do it randomly or for "practice". Im not really sure why mine puffs usually but today it seemed pretty obvious!
