How cool is my burrfish?
I collected this guy the summer before the last summer here in NY in the Atlantic. He came up on the Gulf stream as many tropicals do then they die when the water gets cold so you can say I saved his life. I also collected a bunch of other fish with him but I eventually gave them all away.
This burrfish is in my Local NY tank because if I put him in my reef he would just about eat through the corals, crabs, fish and glass. Burrfish along with porcupine fish are reef fish but not exactly reef safe. Porcupinefish actually prefer coral reefs and burrfish usually stay more on sandy areas. I feed him a large piece of shrimp or fresh clam every day and he grew from an inch to almost 5" in a 10 gallon tank.
