There is a mimic saddle puffer that looks like a saddle puffer, but is a filefish

That’s fantastic, I will look into them for sure! 

I did end up going with a blue spot puffer. My LFS offered to take him back for store credit if I run into problems with him eating my corals, so that worked out perfectly for me. So far he’s been nibbling on my rock but leaving my corals alone. Only time will tell.

Beautiful fish!  Good luck.  Did your LFS have him in quarantine before they sold to you?  Many of the wild caught puffers come in with internal parasites.

Tbh I didn’t ask, but I’ve bought lots of fish from them and they’ve always been healthy. I really do trust the guys at this store.

It’s a really pretty fish!  Hope it does well for you!  You will fall in love fast!
