The Puffer Forum

i read in the pufferpedia that some SW puffers will actually nip at the corals...
just wondering if spotted green puffer will do the same thing or not....
cuz i'm thinking of moving them into my reef tank when they get bigger
if they do damage the corals tho, i might need to get another tank just for them

My GSP has never paid any attention to my corals, but he actually likes to sleep in my acro sometimes.

My puffers always take a bite out of new things in the tank, so I try to rearrange things when they first go in or feed them when they go in. They don't actually bother the corals once they've taken a bite.

If your reef tank has other fish, you'll want to think this through very carefully. A fully-grown GSP can be fatal to smaller fish, and even to some larger ones. At the very least, he'll be a holy terror.
