Is this ok to feed my GSP, or is it too hard?

Let them try! Thats the best option presuming that you are not opening them for the puffer.

Actually I was wondering if there were any type of mussells, clams, oysters ect. that I should stay away from feeding my GSP? Or are most of them fine for him?

I usually take it out of the shell and cut it up into smaller pieces. 1 mussel can last like 2 weeks or more.
