I have read (in compatibility charts) that Puffers do not get along with other Puffers. Is this true? Or is this within the same patical group of Puffers? Basically I was wondering if my Porcupine Puffer would get along with a Blue Haw. Puffer. If anyone has an opinion I would appriciate it. Thanks.

Thank you, your right. I have been calling around the LFS and found it as low as $6 a pound. Still searching.....

Thanks for the reponse, great info. Damn, Live Rock is a little expensive. Even at 1 pound per gallon, that would put me at 60 pounds! Anywhere from $350 to $750.............(if my math is right, around $10 to $12 a pound). I am looking at adding LR for cycle and better tank chemistry purposes...
