That was the easiest fish I have EVER caught!!!

I had a Damsel that I tried to catch in my 125g 2 yrs ago and needless to say, he's still in there.

This could have went totally different. I have two puffers in a reef, a dogface, and a porcupine. They are fine as long as you take the proper precautions, and get lucky enough to get one that doesn't like the taste of corals. Just because a book tells you it isn't a good idea doesn't mean it isn't. Puffers are hit or miss just like angels.

I wish you could order a puffer that is reef safe cause I would love to have a dogface!
