    This puffer was in the Newport Aquarium. I thought it was adorable, so i took a pic and meant to search it on the internet. But then i realized I didn't know what it was called!:eek: Can someone ID it for me please?

    Ok, sorry the pic didnt load right. But it was a red pufferfish that apperared to be smiling. It had spikes, and was about 4-5 inches long. Does that help?
