got a Stars and Stripes puffer yesterday. He is fun to watch. Already eating from my hand and chases me as I walk by today.

I know their teeth grow constantly and they need to need to keep them trimmed. I notice he bites on the rock and shells. But I heard him grinding his teeth. Does this mean anything?

I also read to get clams in half shell to feed him to encourage filing his teeth

I have a video but the site isn't allowing me to upload it of him grinding his teeth
 
The grinding is fine. He will manage his tooth length just fine.
