Green Spotted Puffer

[demonmagus]

Will a green spotted puffer destroy corals?

Thanks

I think you already know the answer...

YES!

The only puffers I would safely put with corals are those such as the Juwel and Valentini "dwarf" marine puffers. They generally don't grow bigger than 4" and will only nip at small inverts such as amphipods and sometimes things like feather dusters.

I put frags of shrooms, xenia and other hardy corals that have overgrown my nano and would otherwise be thrown away, in with my GSPs. They appear to be OK -- they can survive the occasional nip. That said, I wouldn't recommend it - and it would be irresponsible IMO to put anything wild-caught in with them.

There's also a large crab that hitched in on the live rock, and it has survived in with them for over a year - quite a feat considering how big and hungry the three GSPs are.
