The fish arrived healthy and active. It has adapted well to the 200-gallon tank. The reef compatibility is confirmed, and it doesn’t damage corals. A bit semi-aggressive, but manageable with proper tank setup.

We’ve had the Manila Lined Pufferfish for three months now. It’s active and curious, and it’s not harming the reef. The tank size is sufficient, and the fish seems to thrive in the environment.

This pufferfish is a striking addition to our reef tank. It’s not overly aggressive, and it coexists peacefully with other fish. The size is impressive, and it’s a great choice for intermediate reef keepers.
