I would check yur levels as it seems rather unlikely for a mappa to jusy take out a naso out of the blue. Naso tangs are generally fast swimmers and can get away from a puffer it it needs to. How big was the naso and the mappa? I would think the puffer just took advantage of a dying/dead fish as a snack. Although im not saying that its impossible for the map to have just killed it (i have seen large puffers such as mappa and guinea foul puffers eat their tankmates)

Possible underfeeding?!
How often do you feed him? They are brutes. Keep him fed well.

That doesn't suprise me too much, especially the size difference, in my mind I lump puffers in with Lion fish as far as fish eating aggressive behavior with a puffer being more nimble. They will make a meal out of smaller fish, although a 6 inch naso may be a bit of a stretch. And they eat alot my 7 inch dog face eats sooo much food, I can feed 3 or 4 oysters a day and they will be gone by the time they his the sand if I drop them in one at a time.
