    Green spotted puffers are know to eat fins because of its beak...

    I was thinking to get a torch coral to host a clownfish. will the torch protect the clown fish?

    Haha..no a torch wont really protect it. A torch does not have a sting like an anemone to protect it...They pufffer wont see the torch as one and sence that it could get hurt.

    Sometimes when it comes down to these things..its one or the other..I had to split up a couple fish a while ago because of them not being able to get along.. Good luck.
