puffers don't tend to be reef/invert safe

Canthigaster puffers are mild mannered by comparison to most other puffers but they are very inquisitive and will more times than not pick at inverts. It most likely will continue unless you separate them. It will also most likely kill your seahare and snails in relatively short time. I'd get it out asap.


Very bad advise on the part of whom ever said that it would not be a problem.
