PLEASE PLEASE HELP! Puffer

[kaseykagan]

We just bought a Black Dog Face Puffer and released him in our tank. He was only in there about 5 minutes when he started to excete a white stringy substance. Is this normal? It was a lot. It lasted for about 20 seconds steady! It just kept pouring out of him. Was this just poo or is it a toxin? Should we be worried?
Please Help!

Yes, for about 2 hours.

hmmm, watch him for other signs.

What kind of things should we be watching for? Do you think it is a problem or just poo!

We just fed him 1 Shrimp and 1 Scallop. He ate it all up!
