Who is keeping Porcupine Puffers in their Reef?

What corals are they picking at if any?

Anyone have anemones with them?

Anyone keeping any shrimp with them?

Please let me know what size your puffer is also.

Thanks,

Also any small fish being kept with them?

And any snails/hermit and other inverts?

I beleive Anthony had one in his reef tank awhile back. The fish use to suck back food....

I remember Anthony having one in a fowler...

Would sure be cool to see a reef safe one.

Mine ate 3 chromis, and is still tiny so... I would say not a good fish for a reef with smaller fish.

The puffer is living in a RSM 34g full reef with a Marine betta and Copperband. There are no small fish but there is a small clam. No problems so far. My snails are still around but if I had any hermits, they've "disappeared" but I don't think there were hermits (or shrimp) in there.
