I can’t guarantee safety, but I have a blue spotted in with my BTA and clown pair and have had no issue with him doing any harm. However I have a Thinlined Puffer who does eat soft corals.Uh oh interesting! What kind of puffer? I have a small valentini and was planning on some bubble tips...
Look up what you can find on online stores. I've had a good experience (I think two orders actually) with mosaic macros on etsy. Good info and selection. Algae palatability to fishes is variable. Some are too hard or taste bad to fish. Most of the info sheets they have on their store will mention that. Generally if it looks hard it's less likely to be eaten because well it's hard.Cool idea! Do you have any thoughts about a particular kind of macro algae?
This is true!I think puffers eat both urchins and sea stars, but would probably depend on the species. Any non reef safe fish that eats corals usually goes for a lot of other inverts
Reef Cleaners said I could try a pin cushion urchin with my puffers but it would be a risk.This is true!
A pufferfish’s natural diet includes crustaceans, mollusks, sea stars, and urchins so it seems like a terrible idea and a yummy snack for the puffer!Reef Cleaners said I could try a pin cushion urchin with my puffers but it would be a risk.
Yes, I believe their thought was that the pin cushion with its sharp barns may keep the puffer at bay vs like a pencil urchin. That being said I did think it was too high if a risk for me. I’m trying copepods to see if they will help with Algea removal in tanks with invertebrate risky fish.A pufferfish’s natural diet includes crustaceans, mollusks, sea stars, and urchins so it seems like a terrible idea and a yummy snack for the puffer!
