Blue Spot Puffer

[flyboy367]

just got this guy with a squirril fish (daughter had to have a pink fish) anyway i wanted to try my hand at some corals but im reading they may not be to kind to that. the tank he was in when i bought him had a mass of stuff in it though. im also adding some snails and hermit crabs for cleanup crew since they are cheap and expendable. what can i do to spruce up the tank a bit and also where can i get saltwater ghost shrimp?

Most good lfs sell them, where abouts in the world are you? I'm sure you are aware that he will eat the hermits and snails.

If you have basic lighing you could try some zoas, xenia and mushrooms, see if he has a go at them or not!

im located in new jersey. im gonna try to talk my fish guy into hooking me up with a few little sets he has in his shrimp tanks. its like broken pieces of coral that grew out to a few pieces. see what happens. yea i figure he will eat the crabs. its ok i want them to clean up after the fish are done eating and it will help the diet of the puffer im sure. anyone order from the ebay stores that sell like a dozen crabs with snails and all? would be cheaper then my lfs but i dont want to get crap infested ones either.
