Porcupine Puffer Quit Eating

[david c.]

My Porcupine Puffer has not eaten in over a month. I have had him for nearly 2 years. He is about 8 inches long and other than not eating, appears to be healthy. He comes to the front of the tank when the other fish are fed but refuses to eat. I have tried, frozen krill, mussel, squid, brine and pieces of snow crab legs. The other fish go nuts and he just watches them. The tank is 90 gallons and well established. The other fish include a Picasso Trigger, a Clark Clown, 2 Blue Damsels, and a Spanish Hogfish. He has gone on short hunger strikes before but never this long.
