Hey guys I have a 55 gallon saltwater tank. Currently I have a coral beauty, a clown fish, and a foxface. I wanted to add a blue spotted puffer but have no experience with them. I do have snails in the tank but they just came in on live rock. I don't mind if he eats them and I don't have any corals. One of the main concerns is I go away a lot and while the water changes and top offs are done he wouldn't get meaty food everyday only about once a week. Other than that it would be pellets (This is just for while I'm away when I'm home I can offer meaty foods.) I was just wondering what your guys thoughts were, if it could work and your guys experience and advice with this species. Thanks so much!

I think its fine. I like to give them a clam on a half shell or similar (not thawed) too. I used to have one in a 40 gallon. They are very cute looking fish

while a pretty fish, will not do well with a tank that contains coral. Meaty foods are best and LRS fish frenzy will offer it a good variety diet

I don't have any coral in there now nor do I plan to. Do you guys think the tank will be a bit overloaded with him or they should be okay?
