So I recently got a baby porcupine puffer few days ago and all it’s doing is looking at its reflection and swimming up and down.

Is this a normal behavior or is he sick ?

He has no visible spots and he looks healthy.

Most my fish did this the first week give it time he/she will adjust
 
As long as he is voracious and keeping weight on (internal parasites are common in puffers) he’s healthy. The swimming behavior is normal my puffer does this especially when he is bored, i’d throw in some tiny snails to hunt.
