Valentini Puffer Reef Safe?

G’day, there are a couple points I missed like how I feed my puffer twice a day(morning & evening) and how this means water changes need to be done a bit more frequently.

Thanks for the video!! I made an impulse purchase of the Valentini puffer for my 36 gallon reef tank...its nice to hear success is possible

[@westerlywindz173]

Success is definitely possible my friend, I find it to be super rewarding to have one of these little guys coexisting with a reef setup, imo they make a reef tank seem more like a reef with real diversity.

I think you’re the first person who has actually been positive about having this fish in a reef tank… I need the one I have puff from the Netflix movie 90 gallon reef going to send it

I’ve had one for months and she doesn’t bother my coral at all! In fact I love my little Puff Puff so much that I got another one!

[@zippy441]

I read you should only keep one of them at a time, don't mix with there own kind well... How have yours been?

[@robertt8874]

I have an orange tail blue-spotted Toby puffer in my reef, its never touched my snails, hermits or coral but has bitten an eye off my conch. Sadly, I had to move my conch to another tank but learned conch's eyes can grow back.

In my experience they are reef safe. I made a video about the three techniques I use to prevent them from eating shrimp

[@mattparish4451]

I love my valentini puffer, and I do have a few corals but mainly I have a anemones like bubble tips and then some condis, and some Hammer corals, and I know they're not known to bother with anemones and stuff like that which I haven't witnessed, and I haven't seen him ever nip at my corals but I do feed him at least twice a day instead of once a day like they usually recommend for them.

Everyone name their's toby lol

Honestly , I’ve had my valentini about three years now in my large reef tank , been a model citizen the whole time . My orange shoulder wrasse is a menace , my tangs are bullies . But my valentini , super curious , super friendly , never seen him bite or nip any fish , or coral at that . Granted they are all different , but I’ve had nothing but good to say about mine for years .. I’ve heard however the blue spot puffers will destroy acans on sight lol

Im trying to catch mine to get rid of . He takes chunks out of my soft and hard corals. Bit off a whole branch of my Nepthea so even though they are small they will bite good size chunks of your coral

[@StudioGhibletz]

It's a little late for this now, but I have a video on my channel about how to train fish to swim into a net to easily catch them

[@austinbassin4420]

@@StudioGhibletz ALWAYS need a trick for that!

[@StudioGhibletz]

@@austinbassin4420 haha its actually really easy, only takes a few days!

[@austinbassin4420]

@@StudioGhibletz thats pretty much how I got the puffer out. He didnt actually swim in it but finally swam above it after leaving the net in a while and he got use to it. Next will be my yellow tang. He is getting too big

[@rac_godly4100]

@@austinbassin4420 lol took my like 5 hours to catch my pleco cause i had my puffers in there F8 puffers and i had to increase salt so i took pleco out and put him in my goldfish tank

[@chafchak1]

Hey, what type of wrasse is that (the purple one)?

[@westerlywindz173]

Sorry for the very late reply 😅 it’s called a Ruby Head Wrasse

[@aaronlane3430]

I feed a file fish three times a day......in 48 hrs he ate...yes ate half my coral in some manner.....

[@cody-zo6]

Yeah you don't want a file fish with a reef tank lol

[@riptear9972]

Would it eat hermits

[@areyouarobotz]

Hahaha nope
