Sorry to see that -

how long have you had him
quarantined?
any other fish?

do you have a hospital tank - into which you could put antibiotics? - as sometimes swim-bladder issues are antibiotic related. In FW it can also be constipation - but have not heard/seen about that in marine fish. Of course - a puffer fish has a unique bladder system. Frankly it does not look 'good' in that picture - does it swim - is it breathing ok etc?
 
Sorry he’s okay now forgot to post this
