I have a 65gal tank not set up yet i would like to get a box puffer. I was woundering if there was any kind of coral that it would be good with, and what kind of fish i could add that would not get chomped. Help please.

not only bigger... but hard to keep, they have a terrible life rate, and they more than often don't make through shipping
and triggcity, 2 questions..
#1, why did you buy it in the first place
#2 can you post some NEW pics of your triggers?

there are a few people on here from ok, anytime you have a question im usually on so just ask
i have some family u in tulsa, how are the fish stores there
just a little warning, the boards have been haveing a problem lately with rudeness, dont take any of it personal, this site is full of great people that have really great experience and advice, one main on the agressive threads is psusoccer, very nice, there are many more, but again i will say dont take it personal, thier main intrest is the fishes wellbeing

Porcs grow fast and although they are not "aggressive", they can eat smaller fish, inverts and will pick at corals. If you have the 150 and wouldn't mind seeing the Porc in there (and can house it there), then I say go ahead and get one.
I had one that grew to be over 12" long and was one of the coolest little fish I ever had.
