Has anyone's puffers ever ate aiptasia? (pest anenome) I read that the puffer is one of the methods for removing them.

Green Spotted Puffers are not a shoaling fish and do not need the company of other fish to keep them happy.

Some puffers eat ANYTHING - anemones, corals, even mushrooms, which are generally considered the least tasty coral. But there's no guarantees.

I have a Stars and Stripes that eat them. When I have rock from other tanks covered in them I move them to the puffer tank and they are cleaned off very quickly.
