Saddlenose puffer teeth

Hi guys

Not been on for a while having some concerns about my puffer's teeth, he feeds on river shrimp, cockles in shells and brineshrimp.

His tooth :?: seems to be growing and just wondering if he's fine and if there's anything else I could feed him to bring it down

Cheers

Rob
