Porcupine puffer in a reef? Anyone have longterm success?

[ReefinIt]

Been seeing quite a few people with porcupine puffers in reefs. I have always thought this was a no go. I get they can eat CUC and maybe small fish, but what about nipping at corals?

I’d like to hear from people who had longterm success.

The term reef caution is just that. They need to sharpen their clam like teeth and will nibble on stony coral to accomplish this as well as unintentionally biting soft coral to grab a piece of food that has landed
