Hey guys,
I am planning on purchasing a porcupine puffer in the future for my reef, I just read a thread on them

http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...hreadid=160734
Based on what I read I am confident they will be fine in my reef, again I know this is all anectodal evidence, but I am willing to try

So I read up that puffers can die from too much food.. how do I make sure I don't overfeed? Do I just play it safe and underfeed?

Also what do i feed them, I read shrimp, krill, and silversides, but I also read that these are unhealthy for the puffer. Is there any food I can get from the fish market?
Also how often do I feed them?

Thanks
