The Puffer Forum

I have a dogface puffer about 6 inches long. I have long wanted an urchin but was concerned that it would become a meal. So far my puffer has ignored my turbo snails and fighting conch so I am confidence enough to add one. I have read a few other people have successfully kept puffers with urchins and I was wondering what sizes as species or urchin and puffer?

If the puffer can flip over the urchin, it will get the meat out from the underbelly.
