    The triggers are in the same family as the puffer, which may explain the aggression towards them.

    Yeah puffers can be quite aggressive. Is he Atlantic or pacific? Atlantic tend to be less aggressive, but still they can potentially grow into a huge fish, like 9-12 inches is not uncommon and at that size, who knows what it could eat.

    I just realized you have a 55 gallon tank. That means you're WAY overstocked.
