porky or dogface for my new 210

[martini57]

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?

[itlagswrx]

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