It may eat inverts found in a reef tank, and its teeth are actually fused into a beak-like structure. Hard-shelled foods should be fed to the Valentini Puffer at least once a week to help grind down its beak. When threatened, it generally inflates its body by taking in water in an attempt to prevent others from eating it. We advise you to use a container as opposed to a net when removing or transferring fish to avoid ingestion of air. They are scale-less and very sensitive to the nitrogen cycle, this species is considered a good fish for beginners. When trying to keep puffers with other fishes, it is essential to provide plenty of space, hiding holes, and decorations that will allow puffer to create its own territory.
