I'm no expert on inverts, but know that these starfish are well known coral gourmets. Most puffers are know to take a bite out of anything slow enough to let it. I guess its left the snails alone so far and the horseshoe is pretty well armored it just might work.; one of those things that just don't have a "for sure" answer. IMO, a 5" puffer, coral, and a CC star+ 2 tanks; just doesn't seem to have a good outcome. At least, for the starfish.

the chip has been pretty good till lately so ive been trying to stuff him as much as i can.....the puffer is ok in his tank with the horeshoe and snails but i figured he"d probably take a chunk out of chip if i put him in there....i guess ill leave him in my tank until maybe i find him a home or setup the 3rd tank...

In the past I had a chocolet chip starfish in with a dog face puffer and a stars and stripes puffer . Never had a problem.

In my mom's tank, she had a dogface and a choc chip. The puffer used to love to eat the 'chips' off the star's arms. We moved the star to fuge, and hasn't been happier. I suspect once the chips were gone, whole arms would be next
