spotted puffer help

[hollywood13]

Hey,
I have a 24 Gallon Aqua Pod that I have had running for 3 weeks now. Lighting:
1-32w SunPaq dual daylight compact fluorescent lamp
1-32w SunPaq dual actinic compact fluorescent lamp
2 nocturnal blue lunar lights
290 gph pump and skimmer.
A friend is giving me a spotted puffer, as well as a clown fish. I am new to this, and head that spotted puffers eat soft coral, but is there any certain type they will not eat. As well I do not mind getting a small cheap anemones every month or so if he does eat it. Also is there any type of coral I CAN put with him besides anemones??
As well I was thinking about an Sand Sifting Cucumber. Is this okay with my puffer? as well what other type of cleaner crabs etc. can I put in with him?
any tips would be great
thanks

I dont think puffers eat coral, but will eat inverts like clams. Your tank size may be the biggest problem......

to small of a tank, puffers pick at corals..

I hate telling pepole no it wont work but the tank will not let you keep the puffer for very long. He will stress out and die, sorry. If you like the hobby look in to some of the larger tanks for that fish. puffers are very actuve and pick at everything.
