Funny but scary experience
Alright so I have a 210g tank Thats only been up for a couple of months and I have a couple fish in there.... I bought a puffer fish thinking it will be fine since my tanks so big and I dont really have that many corals or fish in there yet.... SO.... When I added the funny looking guy in my tank he IMMEDIATLY started eating all my hermit crabs one at a time and he tried to eat all my fish that were in there!! I was freakin out... But I got him out ASAP and took him back to my LFS..... I got a more friendly tang instead...
I know Puffers arnt reef safe, but I know people that had them in there tanks and I thought Id give it a try.... Never again though...

Each fish has a different personality. With those cautious fish, its always hit or miss. Sorry you ended up on the losing end this time.
