Valentini Puffer

$20.99 – $24.99

The Valentini Puffer is not at all considered reef safe, as it tends to nip over the corals, smaller Inverts such as Shrimp and has even been known to nip at other fishes fins. Parts of its flesh are poisonous. It has the ability, when threatened or alarmed, to inflate its body to almost twice its normal size. It becomes alarmed when netted, therefore, use a container to transfer it.

The Valentini Puffer is omnivore and can be fed with vitamin-enriched Shrimp, chopped Cockle, Squid, Clam, as well as vegetable matter, and green filamentous algae and Spirulina for continued health.
