will my puffer eat a cleaner shrimp?

[xrenx]

has anybody kept a valentini puffer (mine's about 1.5") with a cleaner or coral banded shrimp. alot of the things i've read say that puffers might have a shrimp as a expensive snack. i have a sally lightfoot in there that he hasn't had a problem with. anybody have any experience in this area? thanks

Puffers eat shrimp, that's about as simple as I can make it for you!

The fact that he hasn't touched the sally yet doesn't mean that he isn't going to at some point. Also, sally's are fast so that might have something to do with it.

Crab/Shrimp & Puffer don't mix. Take a good hard look at your crab and shrimp while you can. & start praying.

Oh, BTW, don't get too sad if you see your crab missing a few legs, (although puffers usually attach the body first).
