Can Porcupine Puffers get stuck in Koralias?
Can Porcupine Puffers get stuck in Koralias?
I've been thinking of maybe getting a porcupine puffer. Currently in my 55(yes I know it's small and I plan to upgrade next summer)I have three Koralia's one at 240gph and the other two at 750 gph. I've got about 50lbs of live rock in the tank. Is this too much flow for a Porc and do they tend to get stuck in Koralia's? If it's too much flow I'd just take a Koralia or two out of the tank. Currently in the tank are two tangs a blue hippo and a yellow tang.

I'm sorry to say but with the two tangs and no plans to upgrade for a year that you tank is already over stocked. The blue tangs grow fast and I think there minimum tank requirement is something like 90 gallons just by themselves ( yellow tank 55 gallons). I would be holding off on that porcupine until you do upgrade.

I agree, wait until you upgrade.
