Whoops i guess im behind with the scientific names then .

It is very difficult to indentify a target puffer. But from my exprience, the turgidus has a darker shade of green whera as youre puffer is abit green yellowish (if you get what i mean lol).
Is it possible to make a good picture from it's side and the target spot?

This is my turgidus as you can see he is dark green and the angle of the photo can make his skull/body look longer than it is. for example:
Long looking from side


Normal:


Width of the skull:


Whole fish:


Angry fish:


Close up targetspot:

Yes, I would definitely agree that mine is more yellowish than green. Unfortunately I dripped brackish water on my camera and it didn't react well to it, so for the time being I am without a camera.

But yes, again I see a contrasting body shape between yours and mine (tubular as opposed to rounded on the turdigus) and a stubbier nose on the turdigus, although skull width looks quite similar.
