Valentini Puffer

[edwar050]

Have my valentini puffer in a 120 with corals. So far she has been doing very well. I have mixed feelings about her with inverts and have a quarantine nano stocked with snails, hermits, and a peepermint shrimp. Nearly sure she will eat the peppermint considering her diet is primarily shrimp but as far as the snails/hermits go she has been a good citizen. Anybody have a reefsafe valentini with a mix of inverts. I would love to get a couple of cucumbers and serpent stars to help with the cleanup. TIA.

P.S. I had her in a reef tank for about a year before the 120 -

wow, you have had good luck fo far, although the valentini is one of the lesser agressive toby puffers, my hawaiian blue dot did great with all of his tank mates until one day blamo all of my astreas snail had becaome lunch and his fhishy friend has swiss cheese tails.
good luck

My valentini is VERY nippy.... He was good for a few months then thought it would be cool to go after the fins/tail of all his tankmates. Not to mention he is a total sniper/assassin for turbo snails bigger than he is....

Every one is different I suppose but do keep an eye out for it.
