porccupine puffer bruise spots

[jfox]

I just noticed that my puffer has redish/purple bruise looking spots placed all over his torso. Any ideas?

kinda sounds like a bacterial infection to me, tankmates? parameters?

could also be due to the puffer getting sucked into the filter line, i have seen this on more than one puffer.
