Pufferfish is a puffer discovered by Richard Schank in 2014. Having been found in a symmetric soup, the puffer is almost natural.[1] It consists of a pair of b-heptominos whose debris is stabilised by a backend.
It is the first known c/2 object that doesn't have any parts of periods 2 or 4.
Period-36 technology
- Main article: Pufferfish spaceship
On December 27, 2014 Ivan Fomichev found a non-trivial (dependent) c/2 fuse of period 36 for pufferfish's exhaust, enabling him to assemble the first wholly high-period c/2 spaceship and rake.[2] A few days later Nico Brown found some smaller rakes.[3]

Synthesis
The second pufferfish-producing soup Richard Schank found resulted in a 15-glider synthesis proposed by Chris Cain.[4] On January 8, 2015 Ivan Fomichev made a p160 pufferfish breeder.[5]

Chris Cain found a 60-glider synthesis of a pufferfish-based spaceship in February 2015.[6] Versions with arbitrarily increased length and population are trivially constructible at the same total cost in gliders.
