Are any of these (Brackish) fish reef safe? [Archive]

I have a few fish from my brackish tank that I have been acclimatizing to SW for two weeks now. There is a Brazillian puffer, a figure 8 puffer, a mono agustus (sp?), and a goby that looks like a lion fish, I can't remember the name. I am thinking of putting one of the smaller puffers into my nano, and the goby and the mono into the FOWLR. Does anyone have any experience with this? Are these fish going to live in full SW? I am pretty sure the mono will, but I already had one puffer die (looked like he had a seisure and then died).

Advice?

its possible. i used to keep those puffers and several other brackish fish in freshwater with no problems and i have seen quite a few mollies adapted to saltwater and doing fine
