I have a 125 fish only (plus a long tent. anemone w/ maroon hosting) "aggressive" tank and have been looking into putting some corals or something in it to liven it up a bit.  (the rock just looks bland in comparision to my 24 nano reef Cry) I have Porcupince Puffers and a Cortez Stingray in there now and they have eaten half my cleanup crew.  I don't want to risk an expensive frag or colony as I've heard that puffers tend to eat them.  I want to get another anemone cause the one that's in there is doing great, but will the clown switch anemones, host both, or leave it alone? (of course it varries fish to fish, just in general)  Also has anyone had success keeping corals with puffers?  I've just heard zoos and mushrooms sometimes work.

Gorgonia can be an excellent coral for a tank with a puffer. Unfortunately, Puffers are some of the worst reef fish because they can eat most reef animals. Here is Seti007's old tank with many gorgeous gorgonia.Big%20smile
