Valentini puffer and inverts

Gman,

I purchased a Valentini puffer recently after doing some research, the LFS had one in stock that I watched for about 3 weeks before caving in.

The posts I read from Valentini owners came across just over 50% that they weren't the complete terror I thought they were. I've had him about 10 days now and he did go for my naracisus snails, he may have nipped at one of my Xoanthids but, not real noticeable damage.

I've decided that my tank will be a continually evolving environment and fish have their own personalities. I'll probably take some chances I will regret, and some I won't.

I have a cleaner shrimp, sexy shrimp and some crabs in the tank, and he takes no notice of them. Maybe I got lucky with a docile one.
