dogface puffer - do you mean Arothron nigropunctatus ? all the pictures I've seen of this species are grey or grey with black spots, is this one a rare color variation?


the Remora pictures I found on fishbase doesn't look like the one I have here though.

these are pictures I took at public aquarium.

There are color variations for dogface puffers, they can be spotted as well. LisaD has a really cool dalmation dogface she picked up from Divers Den.
