Mine leaves everything alone other than mysis !!! and he and my foxfacce kiss a lot kinda weird other than that perfect species i think,.

Just out of curiousity, do you think that puffer would go after a full grown cleaner or coral banded shrimp?

 

[mscarpena]

I would think if he could fit it in his mouth most likly yes.

the puffer will gut the shrimp eventually, he might pick at the zoas but won't eat them.

Yes, as they get bigger/older they will start to eat more and more. The only thing I've found mine doesn't eat is SPS. His new favorite is xenia,

which he likes to bite the palms off. Any invert is a risk too, I have a few bigger then golfball sized turbo snails, and he likes to try and bit their antennas/snout off.

Well, mine is good size and he leaves my two cleanner shrimp alone he actually shares his home with them and my foxface. All a perfect family
