Valentini puffers
Any valentine owners out there? I just picked up one for my 40g breeder. Love their colors.

Re: Valentini puffers
I've owned a few. Also, bluespots & a cousin of the val (I forget the name).

Re: Valentini puffers
So far it has left my corals alone. That is a bonus.

Re: Valentini puffers
I think the vals are the most reef safe of all SW puffers. Although, it doers depend on the individual puffer.

Re: Valentini puffers
Mine has been fine with coral. It's just snails, crabs, feather dusters etc that have been decimated
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Re: Valentini puffers
I've had some tobies. They never seemed interested in the corals growing on my live rock.

Re: Valentini puffers
Not a valentini but my gsp will tolerate everything but feather dusters. The retracting motion when he gets near drives him nuts and he attacks.

Re: Valentini puffers
Haha, I can see that.
I had a nice little feather duster that happened to set up shop right in the center of my display tank. I think it was actually the first bit of food my valentini ate when I put it in the tank. Sigh, oh well. As long as my zoa's continue to get left alone I'm happy. And if it eats those as well, I guess i'll get over it.

Re: Valentini puffers
You should be fine. From what I gather softies don't taste very good and they don't have the crunchyness our puffers love.
