Blue spotted puffer

[reef_cheif32]

Has anyone had any luck with a blue spotted puffer in a mixed reef tank? Will they eat cleaner shrimp?

I had success with a white spotted puffer with mix corals. He did pick at the snails. He would flip them over. He will eat the shrimp

Even if my cleaner shrimp is relativly big??

The shrimp may be safe for some time depending on the size of the puffer, but as the puffer gets bigger he will be able to take on larger prey. The cleaner shrimp will also be more vulnerable after it molts.
