S&S Puffer Diet

[jmira]

Hello! I’ve had an established tank with a pair of clownfish and some blue-legged hermits for 2 years. We’ve decided we can venture into new species territory and decided to get a S&S puffer (about 2in.) and are wondering what tips anyone could give us for feeding and the diet itself. We’ve found that live/ raw foods such as shrimp variations and scallops/clams with half shells are great and will help file their teeth, moving into bigger foods with the full shell as they grow. We’re mostly wondering where the best places are to buy the raw food from. We do understand that it should definitely be RAW and not pre-cooked of course. Thank you in advance for responding with your tips on what to feed them and where to buy from.

We also realize the puffer may mess with our hermits. It doesn’t seem to mess with the clowns though because they’re fast moving compared to the puffer and they’re hosting a fake anemone. The puffer just seems to float about. It had nipped at our large feather duster, but stopped after about 10 mins. I think the puffer realizes it’s a friend after we fed it lol.
