It's still in an aclimation box so I'll try that soon. As an update on the copperband, it has finally begun to pick at mussels that I have taken a tip of the shell off of and it eats blackworm from a pipette, so pretty successful so far.

I would agree with that ID.Could you I.D. this porky species for me? I'm thinking Diodon nicthemerus.

Yeah, that should be fine.

Unless they are a bonded pr they should be kept singly. MI can be pretty aggressive toward each other.

I can't remember if I told you or not but the three toadfish live together with absolutely no issues. I think they are three different species also. If I sit near the tank for a while they actually seem to communicate with each other using grunts/croaks in a pattern that is similar to a heartbeat. It starts off quiet and builds up to be quite loud.

It should be fine. My concerns would be if the snowflake did try to eat/hunt/attack the boxfish the boxfish could release it's toxin, but I would consider that pretty unlikely. The other concern would be the boxfish nipping at the lionfish.

It really depends on the individual.

They are a highly intelligent, curious fish. They explore their surroundings with their mouth. I would think a younger smaller boxfish would be safer than a more mature specimen.
