All puffers carry toxins inside them ( if they die ) they can fowl your tank water seveerly and even kill the other inhabitants ,
and besides'.. have a good look at the "mouth area" on the puffers'.. some have "chissled" parrot like teeth and some have "rigged mouths" they have a liking for inverts , and some corals .( those mouths arint made like that for nothing )
I dont suggest it.. to many "negitives" out-weigh all the good's... for a a reef

just that you won't be able to have a "clean up crew" unless they are meant to be snacks. I read/heard that you shouldn't feed puffers, lion, etc.. live food since it can make them more likely to eat other docile fish in the tank. _________ Kimmy | |
