I don't know about your specific puffer, but I do know that puffers are known for nipping at fins. Your banded shark would be his favorite target The puffer might not be the right fit. Again, I don't know about this specific puffer though. Sharks and rays have a hard time with aggressive tankmates. The 240 gal would be large enough for you, if it is the 240 long at 8 ft.

all will be good in a 240 except the shark if you must have the shark you need 300 min
but word of caution sharks do not house well with non shark species

i disagree.
A coral cat shark can live in a 240gal for life. No porcupine puffer in a tank with sharks or rays or lions
