I’ve been wanting a pufferfish in my reef tank, I already have a Toby so I’m not sure another Toby would work, and I can’t have a porcupine because of how big they are, I have a 120g tank, are there any other large ish puffers that could be reef safe in terms of coral?
 
No not usually. Puffers are not reef safe. However, there are exceptions none of the bigger puffers are reef safe and because of their size they will negatively impact water quality. So I would not recommend you add another one.
