I would like you to see the new adition to my Marine community. He is just out of quarantine today, and swimming free in the display system. He is also enjoying the Coral frag offerings that I give him.

LOL, definately not reef safe! What corals does he like to munch on? There is a Q in a zoa forum I go to asking if dogfaces eat zoanthids. I just told them it depends on the puffer. He looks like a lemondrop!

He is living in an 8ft = 1400 ltr system. As for the zoanthids, I get a selection of frags from my LFS, which includes all sorts. And he seems to enjoy them all, regardless of species. Mind you, I don't feed him frags every day. It works out to over £20 a day!! So his main diet consists of mollusc's and callerpa.
