Not Reef Safe
The Starry Puffer, also known as the Starry Pufferfish, is a distinctive marine species recognized for its striking appearance, featuring a light body covered with star-like spots. This pufferfish is not reef safe due to its aggressive feeding behavior, which can lead it to damage corals and invertebrates. It requires a large, well-established aquarium with plenty of swimming space and hiding spots. Ideal for species-only tanks or large predator setups, the Starry Puffer is best kept by experienced aquarists who can provide the appropriate care and environment for this impressive and active fish.
These fish are for saltwater aquariums only.
