Dogface and Starfish

[Ryan22]

Will my puffer eat a starfish if I get one? Scott Micheal's book says that it will eat corals and inverts, but not any specific kinds. So far it has left my snails and scarlet hermit alone.

Any experiences with this?

TIA

Yes. Puffers will eat almost anything. My hispidus/stars and stripes ate my bat ray, tries to eat the triggers sharing its home, and eats anything and everything it sees move (except, oddly enough, the urchins living in the tank).

Thanks for the reply Dave. I'd pretty much given up. You don't get many replys for the FOWLR questions around here, but I can't find anywhere that has good info on them.

Thanks again,

Ryan
