 I've always fed my porcupine puffers in the past live clams from T&T Asian Market. Actually just yesterday I picked up from the T&T Asian market in Calgary & fed my Stewie (a.k.a Griffie) the porcupine puffer a live clam, a live mussel and a live oyster, just yesterday! That can totally be possible about live bacteria on them though. I never thought of that. Good call! Thanks for posting about that. I will freeze the future ones.  Otherwise, over the years I've had & nursed a few porkie puffers back to life, as they are one of my fav fish. Now I have a large porcupine puffer named Stewie and I have fun feeding him stuff. When I first got him, he barely ate and if he did it was only every few days. Now Stewie has got quite the appetite and feeds several times a day. I feed him once in the morning and once at night. I feed the following: Chucks of Pristine Mysis (good protein) Frozen Krill Raw (just unthawed) Tiger Shrimps (not cooked, green) Squid, Octopus, Cuttlefish, Mussels, white clams, baby clams (Frozen Seafood Medley, sold at T&T Market for $4.98 a bag) FOR A TREAT- every now & then Oyster (cracked) $0.59 cents at T&T Mussel (cracked) $0.30 cents at T&T Clam (cracked) $0.25 cents at T&T Stometella snails (from your sump!) Hitcher crabs (FREE) Hope that helps.

I thought I would post the other Stewie.
Stewie (a.k.a Griffie) I got a month back from another reefer on the board here. He is 8+ inches long. A big boy! Although I have a feeling she is a girl after all. She is great! The first ever puffer that doesn't eat your shrimps, crabs, lobster or corals. Very Very RARE, especially for her size!! Meet my Stewie! Stewie loves to pose infront of the camera This is Stewie's buddy, Luigi (longhorn cowfish)! They swim around together! I so proud to show her first tooth, that I'm trying to help grow.
