Strange Porcupine Puffer Behavior

[coffeejunkie33]

Has anyone ever seen a Porcupine Puffer intensionally stick himself to the filter intake and stay there? So far it's not hurting him and the intake for the filter isn't that strong so he can swim away. I just find this to be odd behavior, and have never seen a fish do this before. Did I buy a suicidle fish.?

lol i hope not but puffers are pretty calm slow peaceful swimmers so either hes just sitting there cuz it feels good orhe may be sick...is he eating?
fish do sometimes develope weird behaviours tho i had a bubble wand and a pair of ocelleras who shunned their anemone just to use the bubbles like an anemone
