all puffers will always prey crustaceans.

Yes, puffers like shrimp. Even if the shrimp is bigger than them.

+1 to above comments lol. My GSP lived with a ghost shrimp for over a month, but he always stared it down and poked it alot. I'm sure given time, he woulda gobbled it up one day... I think he was too young and the shrimp too fast. For puffers, I wouldn't consider any inverts safe... only a matter of time. If you can't aford to have it eaten, don't put it in with a puffer!!
