The GSPs could be drip acclimated to the marine conditions too.
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

I'm glad you haven't given up on the idea of keeping a puffer! :)

My tank is a fully cycled saltwater set up just ready to add fish, I just can't decide on which fish.

Get a GSP or two!

WARNING: Puffers are mischievous little blimps with enchanting powers. You may not be content with having just one.

Yes, GSPs are a good choice for a marine tank, just as T. fluviatilis

Or a mated pair of tobies of your choice (C. valantini are quite easy to sex). You'd still have room for some other fish and the tobies are less aggressive towards most other fishes.
Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Give a fish a man, and he'll eat for weeks.
