Any other fish in the tank. Cool looking though.

Web Burrfish will inflate itself with water in the face of a threat. Some other tank mate harassing this guy.

Typically I would agree but puffers do this from time to time. Most of the times I catch my puffers doing this is early morning when the lights are off. Everyone is in their caves until midday when the lights go on at 1pm. This guy lays in the same spot every night same as as the rest..each have their laying spot for the night. Here's my Golden Puffer who does it from time to time.

I have a tank full of puffers and meat eaters I call them and zero aggression. Yellow Tang is the fiesty one.

I know it’s not uncommon for puffers to do “practice” puffs. It’s not always because of stress.

That is a great shot. I have two puffers in my tank but have yet to see them expand. Might start checking early morning now.
