it looks like the dogface color morph I've seen sometimes sold as "dalmatian"

does it look something like this?

or this?

both of these are posted as dogface color morphs on LA Diver's Den. I've seen more spotted ones before, but don't have a current image.

It is a dalmatian dogface, If you wanted a specific name, but in reality there really is none, and uncountable morphs of dogface(a. nigropunctatus) They can vary from tan, to black, to white, to yellow, to orange, to yellow bellied, to orange bellied, to spotted and many other combinations of morphs. It is just finding a nice one and buying it. Since there are so many varieties you really can't put a price on either, it is just how much it is worth to you. That is what I like about dogfaces, so much variety. Have fun with him.

Arothron nigropunctatus from the Solomon Islands. They are not as hardy as the other nigropunctatus.

Make sure you deworm your puffer. These are notorious for worms.
