puffer fish

[sergifed91]

I have a valentino and a blue spotted puffer. they get along great. always hanging with each other. I noticed that the blue spotted puffer has gone after my zoas. besides zoa corals I have a devils hand leather, florida ricardo mushroom, 2 green star polyps maybe 4 of them. they are multiplying which is fine. I may put it on the back glass. 2 torches and 2 hammers, a couple sps corals but not sure what they are off the top of my head. I have noticed they haven't messed with any other corals other than the zoas/polyps. what other corals will I be safe getting to put in the tank that they might not pick at / destroy if any?

I also have a sand sifting star fish and 5 brittle star fish. never see them they hide under the rocks and only come out at night..

Puffers are not ideal in reef. They can nip at coral. They also need something to wear down their teeth like rock or stony coral/inverts. Best in fish only.

+1, not ideal in reef. I actually acclimated green spotted puffers from brackish to full salt water and kept them in my reef. They were the talk of most guests...
