This pufferfish is active and colorful. It has adapted well to my 50-gallon reef tank. I noticed it occasionally nips at smaller fish, so I removed a few vulnerable species. Overall, it’s a striking addition to the tank.
Rachel Forsyth –
The fish looks beautiful and stays calm most of the time. I’ve had it for three months and it’s grown steadily. I keep a close eye on tankmates due to its semi-aggressive nature.

Great choice for intermediate reef keepers. It’s vibrant and adds a lot of visual interest. Just make sure the tank is large enough and avoid keeping it with very small or slow-moving fish.
