Possibly a Canthigaster rostrata.

Possibly a Canthigaster rostrata.

Oh wow that is true. I guess he is A Caribbean Sharpnose. Do you know if we will gain more color? Just bought him yesterday so I don't know maybe it's the stress?

The Caribbean sharpnose puffer has the ability to change its colors to a mottled pattern. In general this shows that the fish is being submissive. For the females they show this mottling when a male enters their territory and they are ready to mate. Males display a mottled pattern when they are passing through another males territory and they don’t want a territorial fight.

Possibly a Caribbean or Mexican sharpnose

It looks like a Saddleback puffer and sometimes called a Valentini puffer. However, yours doesn't have any stripes.

Yeah they do gain more colours you’ll just have to give him time to settle in and also as they get older they get more colour.
