Is there anything special I should know about these? Was thinking on getting my wife one for christmas as she fell in love with one at the LFS. I'd like to have some zoas & soft corals some day, and a feather duster.

Yes, they are too big for a 55 gal tank and will eat your inverts.

There are some that are fine for a 55, but they're still not reef safe.

Really? I thought they were all 100 gals or bigger. I guess you learn something new everyday!

There are some that only get about 3 and half or 4 inches

porcupine puffer. I talked to my cousin and he said if I wanted he'd let her pick out whatever else she want at the same price as the puffer.

Yep, the saddle, spotted, and leopard puffers will all do fine in a 55g tank.

Very true!! I learned that some lots today...like when it's 5 degrees F without wind chill to call in sick to work. Been home 2 hours and my toes and fingers are starting to get feeling back in them.

Yes, and according to liveaquaria (had to check out those puffers!) the porcupine puffer needs a tank size of 90 gals or larger.

:pooh:. Just about everything he has the database here says more then 55gal. Oh well maybe I'll just go buy her sexy underwear and keep the money for something like lawnmower blenny and an emerald crab and more snails. LOL!

I don't mind it if you're not stuck out in it all day. Usually I can find something to do inside til I warm up but we're a little slow at work, slowing down for the holidays, so they sent 3 guys to put in 1 door and being the low man on the ladder.....

Underwear or fish? LOL! No way special orders are 25 on top of the price. He may be family buy we're not that close. LOL. He says it's what his supplier charges him.
