Papuan Toby be ok with sw crabs, shrimp, hermit crabs?

Post by Arny »

Hey guy's

Would a Papuan Toby and a Hovercraft boxfish be ok with sw crabs, shrimp, hermit crabs, corals?



I have a 55g SW tank that I need to fill and wanted to put a variety of living things in it rather than just a puffer and LR

Any advise would be great :D

Thanks

Every single one of those would be a no-no. Puffers are not generally reef-safe.
It's a crayfish! It's a snail! It's a... ah who cares?
Nom nom nom!...

Can you help me?

Boxfish release toxins when scared or stressed, not good to keep with other fish.
