Toby puffer?

[Tanglover531]

I really like the Toby puffers should get one? Have some corals, (Xenia, polyps, mushroom, and some sps) ,peaceful tank mates lots of rock,and it's a 75g. Am I missing any thing or am I good to get one.
Oh and some care tips would be very appreciated

I just got one about two weeks ago. So far, he has been a model citizen, although my snail population has seemed to dwindle. He seems to be a little bit of a finicky eater at this point, but he did enjoy some ghost shrimp I got for him last week. He seems to shy away from food at feeding time when the other fish are eating. I am a little bit surprised by that. I think he mostly tries to feed at night, so it is hard to tell how much he is really eating.

As far as corals go, I haven't seen him picking at anything, but I guess that is hit or miss, as it is with most fish. Doesn't mean he won't change his mind down the road though.

At the LFS. They are alive. They are freshwater creatures, so they won't last long in a saltwater tank. I buy 6 a week for $1 and he goes crazy for them.
