dont know about a wild caught puffer but when i picked up my porcupine puffer he didnt eat for 3 weeks. we tried everything, then i guess he felt comfortable in the tank or very hungry and began eating any food we put in. He seems to prefer frozen shrimp over frozen krill.
Nice little clown Topfish. Here is the only good photo I have of mine. He's about 6", the photo was before he was moved into a new 240 last week.

If you dont like these opinions then go ahead and do what your LFS says, you'll soon see how much money you spend (since, according to you, keeping the fish isn't so important). <img src="graemlins//confused.gif" border="0" alt="[confused]" />
