The Puffer Forum

Hey Marine Guys

If I get a jewel puffer, spotted sharp nose puffer or a Papuan Toby will they eat all the algea in my tank off the glass and LR?

Thanks

not in the sense that i think you are referring. they don't really eat the micro algae but commonly munch on macro algae

Both my GSP and my Ceylon used to eat brown algae that was growing on the sides of the tank and on decorations. I never saw either of them do it, but you could see all these little circular bare spots all over the tank - lots of them, and since there were no other creatures in the tank with them, it had to be the puffer that was causing them.
