I have a dog face puffer - so far he has not bothered the starfish (which spends most of it's time buried in the sand) or the three urchins that came with the live rock.
He has tried to get the emerald crabs and has eaten some turbo snails. They will probably all get caught eventually.
The puffer did get caught on the power head a couple hours after going into the tank - luckily my wife was watching the tank at the time and I removed him almost immediatly. He did panic and "puffed" - WOW did he get big, his tail almost vanished - my wife screamed "he's going to pop!"
He has a round mark from the experience - but seems to be getting better.
He "puffed" one other time when the other fish decided that his poop was food and got too close in their feeding.
Really a cool fish - curls up on his rock ledge at night.
