Puffers and SPS

[ReefDoberman]

Has anyone ever succesfully kept a puffer fish of any variety with their SPS? I was thinking about a Blue Dot Puffer but I read that these types of puffers diet consists of coraline algae and coral polyps???

Can it be done?

Mine (valentini puffer) did fine with sps. However, he nipped some lps and softies.

My spotted toby went straight for the sps, didn't touch anything else though.

I have a blue spotted puffer but I pulled in out of my reef after about an hour. He was biting chuncks out of my rock. He didn't bother any of the corals though...

Do you think I should give it another shot?

If it is easily removed, go for it. Keep an eye on it, closely. I promise your puffer hasn't read any of the books or threads that say it likes to eat sps. They don't seem to built like a coral eater, they look more like a crustacean crusher
