I’ve kept this pufferfish for six months in a 30-gallon tank with live rock and corals. It’s active and doesn’t damage the reef. Feeding is easy with frozen brine shrimp. The fish is semi-aggressive but not overly territorial. Good choice for intermediate reef keepers.

The fish arrived healthy and has been adjusting well. It’s curious and explores the tank regularly. I noticed it doesn’t eat much at first, so I increased feeding frequency. Works well in a mixed reef setup.
