for the puffer feed it shellfish everyonce in awhile so it can wear down its teeth all the other time feed it shrimp and i wouldnt reccomend it in a reef it may nip your corals but with the clowns and everything else it should be fine

Please don't use all caps..it's like you are screaming.
Puffers are not reef safe..they have a fused beak-like structure which they use to crush prey.It will eat all of your inverts.If you can,I would recommend returning it,and in the future..research first.You should also be practicing quarantining all new arrivals to safeguard the ones that you have from disease.
