Post by beetlebug454 »

Hello,

Thank You Nate

Some puffers sleep curled up like that. Sounds normal to me.

Mine has started sleeping like that in a small cave in the live rock. It is realy cute! He can barely fit in the cave but he loves to curl up in it!

Sometimes they curl up and play dead just to freak you out.

I think its the "fetal position" of the fish while they were in their eggs. That would explain why they are so comfortable sleeping curled up.

My F8s do it too sometimes.
