Facts
As is the case with most puffers they can be known to pick at corals as well as small inverts like snails and hermit crabs. They are not considered reef safe. They are a great addition to a fish only tank with outgoing personalities. They often interact with tank owners by ‘begging’ for food.

Note: Use a container while transferring fish to reduce stress and risk of air inhalation; not a net.

(Diodon holocanthus)
