The one in that photo looks like a Parrot Puffer (marine), but you may have seen a Figure 8 (brackish) which has similiar markings.

That is a pic. of Takifugu ocellatus , they are popping up quite frequently lately. They are a hard to keep species that does best in a large tank with strong current and high brackish or marine water conditions. Not too many people have been able to keep them alive for more than a couple months in the aquarium.
