My porcupine puffer Sean is my favorite. So much personality. I also love my dwarf zebra lion.

Hi. I'm debating getting a porcupine puffer and just curious how you moved him to your tank. did you net him or use a bucket? How did you not pour any store water he was in in your tank?

Awesome fish and most do great in reefs!

I recommend acclimating then wearing gloves and just picking the puffer up from your acclimation bucket and placing him in your tank. I bet you'll be more nervous about doing this than your puffer lol.
I have those coralife aqua gloves which go up to my shoulders but i also keep palys so I use them regularly. If you dont have or want those then i would think any decent dish gloves or a colander will do as well.

I just used a large Tupperware container. The water in the bucket is half store water and half your water. I don't think a bit of store water is that bad. If you are that scared of your store's water, you should find another store.

If you aren't quarantining fish one day you'll learn why and will adopt the process.

My little guy literary eats almost all foods I offer him. So I'm glad to say I weaned him

Many years ago, I acclimated one of those guys (temperature-only) in a five gallon bucket. When the temperature had equalized, I poured the water out of the bucket . . . but no puffer?!

He'd puffed big enough to lodge himself immovably in the bottom of the pail. Wound up sinking the bucket and letting him come out in his own good time.
