Blue Spot Puffer needs home
 
On my recent trip to Albuquerque, I purchased a Blue Spot Puffer. I had never seen one before and thought it looked great. It does. Problem is, he likes to eat some of my corals and had a great appetite for zoas. YES, I KNOW, I should have checked to see if he was reef friendly before I purchased him but for whatever reason I didn't. Please spare me the lecture and make me feel more worse than I already do. Bottom line, I can't keep him. I was just going to take him to one of the LFS shops but I thought I would see if anyone here was interested first. He's somewhere between 3-4 in. I paid $49 and I'll take a loss and sell him for $25 to a good home.

What are you currently feeding him? (Besides your coral).

FASTnDIRTY 03/31/2014 04:28 PM

Hey Tim, depending on what you are feeding, the wife would like him... I will pm you shortly...

Puffer
 
Besides the coral,..... I've been giving him mysis and Rod's food.

what do you have in your tank right now?

FASTnDIRTY 03/31/2014 08:11 PM

2 volitan lions, 10 green chromis, lunare wrasse, 2 yellow tail damsels... 125 gallon... If you don't think it's a good fit, my feelings won't be hurt... Whatever you think...

TimGentry 03/31/2014 09:08 PM

I'm not sure about Lions and Puffers together.

FASTnDIRTY 03/31/2014 09:21 PM

I am not sure either... I would hate for him to start nipping at fins... Keep me in mind...

Beautiful fish! Wish I had a tank for him!

I was thinking about the other way around and how the lionfish would treat him. He seems O.K with other fish. It's just invertebrate, corals etc you have to worry about.

This may seem a bit wierd but the resturant with the light house off i-10 (I forget the name) are the ones who ended up with my picasso trigger. They have a few tanks at the entrance, nice resturant to. I bet he would want him.

mrcyrus 04/01/2014 10:40 AM
