Marine Puffer questions

Post by solastsummer »

Ok so i recantally had a tank crash on my reef that killed absolutly everything (corals and all)

I once had a vanentini puffer that i loved, however i keep a full reef with clams and all, and the valentini loveddddd clams... is there a puffer that would be reef safe so i can keep another clam?

Also, i think I already know the answer, but i would be willing to give up the clam for a porc, however my tank is the same dim's as a 55 but a lil taller making it 60G, would it work?

I don't think you are going to find a puffer that doesn't like clams. Their are a few soft corals a puffer might ignore but that is far from being reef safe. IMO, i don't believe 60g is enough room for a pork.
Check out my puffer, video, and tanks @ jdak.net.

I would agree, I wouldn't risk the clam with any puffer. And 60 gallons is only about half the size of a tank you'd need for a healthy, full grown porc. On a side note, because I don't know much about them, won't a clam outgrow a tank of that size?

Of course, you could keep the 60 as is, and buy yourself a whole new tank for the porc ;)
