Went to the LFS with my girlfriend last night; "Porcupine Puffers" were on sale. A whole tank of them. Tiny (all about 1" - 2" at the most). I've got a few corals but I'll be moving them to another tank, and they're all ones that have survived the Hawaiian Puffer test (a few leathers and mushrooms), so I figured it'd be worth a shot. Problem is, I know Porcs get really freakin' big. I asked the person working the saltwater tanks and he said these were tobies, not regular porcs.
A Google search for "Porcupine Toby" does indeed bring up a couple references to them, but aside from that I've never heard of one. Is the guy full of crap? If he is, how quick do they grow? He's only about an inch long right now, and I've got a 75g I can move him to when it becomes a bigger issue, but if he's gonna grow a foot in 6 months or something, I've got to get rid of him ASAP.
