puffer

Hi, I have a 35 gallon with just a few fish, mostly corals. I already have a valentini & a Randall’s goby. I am wondering whether a pistol shrimp would be safe with the puffer in the tank. This one has eaten all of my emerald crabs. I’m not sure if the shrimp & goby will be able to hold their...

I purchased a dog face puffer today.. he is brown and spotted and i’ve posted on facebook about him and people have said he looks good and he looks horrible. I’m aware he has a hazy eye which I plan to treat. LFS is feeding krill, only known issue of him is his beak needs filed some since it’s a...

Hi, Clown fish in third day of hiding. I've had a valentini puffer in my 30 gallon tank for about two weeks. I ran out of food for two days and my mandarin goby went missing. The first day I had the puffer, it devoured my emerald crabs. Now my typically belligerent clown fish (had for about a...

I’ve had a baby porcupine puffer for a couple months now and he’s been very happy. But recently in the past few days I’ve noticed lots of erosion of his fins indicating some bullying by his other tank mates which i thought was strange as he’s been fine the entire time i’ve had him in my tank...

Hi all I would like to rehome my dogface puffer fish. I'm not asking for any money, but want to make sure he is going to a good home. I've had him for a couple years, but have started adding more corals to my saltwater tank and he has been eating them. He is fine with softies like leathers and...

Hello, I have a 45 gallon tank that I set up last year. I've had two clownfish for nearly 5 months now. I am looking into getting a leopard puffer or a blue spotted puffer but I have some questions first. 1. Is my tank size appropriate for a leopard or toby puffer? I do not have a sump. I see...

Hi All, need some help with diagnosis of a new dog faced puffer added to tank about a week ago. Seems healthy and eating and swimming well but just noticed these small white dots and it panicked me slightly… many thoughts more that welcome, thanks in advance C.

I currently have a Scopas Tang, 2 Clowns, and a Valentino Puffer. I just noticed today that the Tang seems to have 2 bite marks on its back fins. Is it possible the puffer did this or even the clowns? They all seem very calm around each other and even swim together in groups. I have been cutting...

I have had a valentini puffer for about 9 months now. He has been a great tank mate. I have been looking through post on them in here since I got him. Reef safe? Thats going to depend on your tank and timing of getting him. Mine is reef safe but he does occasionally pick at a coral but not...

Hi Fellow Reefers, I prefer to give all of my fish that can safely tolerate it a freshwater dip during their 2 month quarantine prior to releasing them into my display tank. I never exceed 5 minute long freshwater dips and remove fish early if I witness any concerning behavior outside of what I...

Hello all today I bought baby Valentini puffer it would be an understatement to say I’ve fallen in love as he is already so interesting but I must now ask, Ive learned they can indeed be coral eaters and while I may not be able to stop it is there any little things people have learned to do to...
