Stewart Poole –
This pufferfish has been in my 200-gallon reef tank for six months. It’s active and curious, and it doesn’t harm the corals. I appreciate the size and coloration. Only a bit territorial during feeding times, but manageable with proper tank setup.
Ryan Black –
I bought this fish for my intermediate reef tank. It’s a striking addition and has adapted well. The tank size is sufficient, and it’s not damaging any of the coral. A bit more active than expected, but not aggressive otherwise.
Stephen Lee –
The fish is beautiful and has become a centerpiece in my tank. It’s reef-safe and stays calm most of the time. I only had to adjust the feeding schedule to avoid minor conflicts with other fish.
