Puffers eat inverts.

Re: Green spotted puffer.
A Pencil Urchin has long thick spikes which a puffer couldnip at. What about getting a tuxedo urchin, there's nothing for the puffer to bite onto.bigben2057 wrote:Could i put an pencil urchin in with my green spotted puffer? Or any kind of urchin?

Re: Green spotted puffer.
Hello again. Im glad you found this site. I think you're getting a pretty good concensus now of the urchin and a puffer.
Kind regards,
Terrance

They can easily be flipped over & eaten from the underside.

Re: Green spotted puffer.
You would be amazed at what at small puffer can destroy. I have seen a small puffer take chunks out of a very large plec. My fahaka also ate an apple snail which was bigger than his head
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly
