Didn't know we had Puffers here!!!

i have seen some really strange looking fish here that i thought might be a puffer of some sort, but i am positive about this guy..i was walking along the harbor the other day and stumbled across this guy!! he had washed up on a boat ramp and he was dead.. i am not sure what killed him, but there were a few other dead fish that were washed up.. it could have been Red Tide that killed them.. the last few weeks ,there have been thousands of dead fish washed up everywhere... anyway, here are some pics i got with my phone.. it was all puffed up!!
