For whatever reason my phone is not letting
Me do it. I did get a positive id on reef central though and I knew what they were when I caught it. After looking at them up close I am 100% sure. The question is should I keep them or not? What are the experiences that people have had with striped burrfish? Behavior, feeding, will they nip at corals?

I wouldn't trust ANY puffer with corals. That being said, you could try them with bad-tasting leathers & xenia.
Burrfish have a predisposition to IPs & must be treated several times to be sure they are eradicated from their system.

I wouldn't be doing sps, just some softies and hammers and stuff like that.

As far as aggressiveness towards tankmates goes, are they comparable to porkies? Or more laid back?

In the small research I did, they are comparable to porky puffs because they are both listed as semi-aggressive.
