Copperhead gave a link to the puffer forum. That is probably the best place you can go for puffer information IMO.
The spiked ones are called porcupine puffers. They are a saltwater variety.

The ones with "spikes" are porcupine puffers, but there are several others as well. Here's an addition to the list: http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/ug.php/v/PufferPedia/
