The pufferfish is active and colorful, and has adapted well to the 30-gallon tank. It doesn’t harm corals and is manageable for an intermediate aquarist. Feeding is straightforward with frozen foods.
Gordon Brown –
It’s a lively addition to the tank. I noticed it’s semi-aggressive, so I kept it with larger, calm fish. It’s not overly active but stays engaged in the environment.

Great choice for someone with intermediate experience. The fish is healthy and shows good coloration after a few weeks. Tank size was sufficient and the reef setup remains stable.
