    Fingerprint puffers are beautiful fish – active during the day but not reef safe. Google Canthigaster compressa and you will find him.

    Here is the fish database link: FishDB - Fingerprint Toby

    As with dwarf angels, triggers and other fish like that, it really depends on the individual fish. Some people have saddle puffers who are fine in a reef tank, others may have one that nips at a clam or lps occasionally, but causes no real damage and then it may destroy everything.
