Is that a peacock puffer or a hawain blue in your video and how is it with your corals?
It's a blue spotted puffer and so far he hasn't done any damage. I've had him for a month... I saw him biting my leather once, but that was it.

Nice Tank! I ask this because I just got a peacock puffer and am debating weather or not to put corals in my tank. I don't want to give him or her some expensive food.......

I wouldn't take a risk with hard corals, but there is a good chance with softies. The other problem are inverts... there is a good chance he will go after them. My shrimp almost always hide so I am willing to take a chance since I don't see them anyways.

I have some shrimp as well and they are a lot bigger then the puffer so i figure they will be ok for a while. What kind of soft corals do you have if you don't mind me asking?

Update 04/14/08: It's been over a month since I got him and I must say it is a lot more interesting eel than a Blue Ribbon. Yes... the Blue one has a nicer colors, but this one eats like a pig, and has a great personality. It comes out more often and it doesn't get scared of anything when he is in the open.

Sure... Top is completely sealed. I learned a lesson with my Blue Ribbon Eel who jumped out through a very small open space. My tank is a 24g with 3g refugium, mh lights, and a chiller. Nope it doesn't freak out any fish, and it didn't move anything in a tank so far. Not a problem I am here often so you are welcome to ask any questions.

That is an awsome eel. I was full of doubt while reading through this. Whites and blacks are labeled at the same risk level as blues for survival in a home aquarium. Your eel looks to be doing great and eating well

I ordered him from a guy who now has his own store. You could probably have your lfs order one. Let me know what's up and good luck!
