My valentini puffer was hanging around the back corner and two big brown globs came out his belly. one was a little smaller but they had 2 black dots on them but I can’t find where it went to take photos. what was that??? Should I be worried? I only have one puffer in the tank.

Puffers don't have string poop like most other fish, at least not if they are eating enough. I've kept a few valentine's puffers over the years, and have seen them poop like that.
My suggestion is next time it happens, net it out and snap a picture. Otherwise all anyone can do is speculate.
