Puffer eats Nori ( seaweed )??
Does anyone have a Puffer that eats Nori? I put some on the clip today and he went for it and swallowed the whole thing. Thus leaving the other fish in the tank not too happy. I was not aware they ate seaweed.

The marine puffers tend to be algae/seaweed (macroalgae) eaters more than their FW counterparts. They likely should be offered such regularly.

So good to hear that they eat the dry seaweed. I just feel terrible because he does dot leave any for the other fish in the tank. Any suggestions?

Those who say money can't buy happiness don't know where to find puffers.
