Can you keep puffers with corals?

[celbrise]

I have a green spotted puffer and although it does not attack my fish it does nibble on my base rock here and their. the rock is bare but i want to put corals on it in the future just don't want it to nibble on the corals.

Puffers have been known to nip at corals.

He is doing that to keep bis teeth in check from over growing.they are more a problem with inverts than corals.i used to toss in some big snails once in a while.he can eat them and also help wear his teeth down

yea mine won't eat snails whole. I have to crush them sadly :/ tried feeding it whole snails doesn't work. eats shrimp, clams,etc.. but all with the shells pre crushed already. i will try buying a few corals to start in the future see where it goes.
