RARE OR NOT BLUE BOX PUFFER FISH

I don't see much of these in the hobby. Blue Box puffer fish. How rare are they such as the Blue Paraplegic Puffer?

Are you talking about male Ostracion meleagris Boxfish? That's what it sounds like...Idk how rare they are there but we see them fairly regularly here. Only the males are blue.

I guess they're rare depending on what your location is...

my LFS has one but they have it missed labeled. They have a female but have it labeled as a male. I thought it changed colors as it aged but had to do some research before I purchased.
I'll have to let them know to update it. The fish size is large which also attracted me

I'm a dive photographer and have taken photos of both the males and females in the wild here!
