I’ve kept the Mappa Pufferfish for six months in a 150-gallon tank. It’s active and doesn’t damage corals. The fish is semi-aggressive but manageable with proper tank setup. Good for intermediate reef keepers who want a unique species.

The fish arrived healthy and has adapted well to the tank. I noticed it’s more active during the day and stays calm at night. I’m happy with the size and compatibility with my existing reef setup.

This pufferfish is a great addition to a larger reef tank. It doesn’t eat corals and shows interest in live foods. The size range matches the M size, and it’s growing steadily.
