The Honeycomb Toby Pufferfish arrived healthy and active. It has adapted well to our 50-gallon reef tank. It doesn’t eat corals and stays mostly in the middle zone. Good for intermediate reef keepers who want a colorful, active fish.

We added this fish to our 40-gallon tank after reading about its reef-safe nature. It’s been two months and it’s still active and not showing signs of aggression. The coloration is vibrant and it’s a nice addition to the community.

This pufferfish is a great choice for a reef tank. It’s not overly aggressive and doesn’t damage the coral. We’ve had it for three months and it’s thriving. The size is within the expected range and it’s very active during the day.
