Well ive been thinking about adding some coral. I have a 150 gallon with some live rock, porcupine puffer, snoflake eel, volitan lionfish, leaf lip/clown grouper, and a lunar wrasse. Ive been thinking about upgrading the single tube light that it came with to a 760 watt metal halide setup. My question is what will I be able to add if I go for the new lighting? I know I have some limits with the porcupine puffer just don't know what I can still get away with. Thanks in advance

Start with some cheap mushrooms, and see if the puffer thinks they are tasty. If so, then most LPS corals are out, and I would think so are SPS corals. Not all puffers will attack corals, just underfed ones will for sure. I have a valentini puffer in my reef, and so far except for a few missing hermits no corals have been tasted. I do feed the tank twice daily, small feedings.
