Pufferfish with soft coral?

[alexjaundrell]

Tempted with a golden puffer but I’ve currently got a couple of small SPS colonies and a large frogspawn that I will have to remove. But still looking to keep the softies. Does anyone have any experience/ pics of their thanks with large puffers and coral?

@AydenLincoln has a lot of experience keeping puffers

Personally I wouldn’t do it with any corals! They are poop machines and can/will nip at them to either eat them or explore/keep their beak down. Absolutely not coral/reef safe. I know some people may keep them together when young still a bad idea imo.

I had corals with my stars and stripes. No nipping but the pooping makes it a little harder to keep corals happy, if I had successful SPS like you said I wouldnt even mess with it!

Puffer fish are my favorite but i havent had luck with them in my coral tank which sucks.
