Valentina puffer eating Zoas

[Tyfighter]

I have never owned a Valentina puffer but I think the general consensus with any livestock in a marine tank is that once they start eating corals they aren't ever going to stop.
You could try feeding more regularly and see if that helps but I think you are Probbaly going to have to remove him.
Good luck!

Ya once it becomes food it's always food. Its either zoas or the puffer, one has to go...

Had zero luck keeping mine. He started nipping at my Acans, I accepted the piece as his chew toy. But... he continued to nip at zoas and SPS. However there are the rare ones that leave your corals alone. I unfortunately drew the short straw and had to rehome mine.
