anemones?
do puffers eat sea anemones?
The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang the best. Use the talents you possess.

Re: anemones?

Re: anemones?
probably dependent on how aggressive your puffer is. cleaner shrimp post up on "cleaner stations" which is a known area that fish approach, the fish changes behaviour even if its a naturally eaten food item and show signs that they are not there to eat the shrimp but to get cleaned. in an aquarium i dont know how hard that is to immitate since there isnt a get away "cleaner station" but he might still see the shrimp in a beneficial way and not eat it. really the only way to see is to try it, but dont be too upset if its missing one day all of a sudden

Re: anemones?
lol not many. i had a chocolate chip starfish with my GSP, when the GSP first saw him he was very curious and went over to it and "tried" one of his chips lol. he didnt bite because im sure he could have easily taken off a piece of the starfish, but he seemed to taste it before he decided to try and eat it. but after he "tasted" it he never did that again and always left it alone, unless i was feeding the starfish a shrimp on the surface of the water and the puffer wanted the shrimp, he would find an angle to grab it away and make me thaw another one. i also was getting SW ghost shrimp one time and the guy accidently scooped up a small hermit crab but either didnt notice or thought it was a shell cause i got it for free
he made it though and even switched shells twice without getting caught, once was out in the wide open but the other i didnt see where or when he did it
