Puffers, tank mates and Corals?

I like the blue spotted puffer such an interesting fish. I read only reason not reef safe as they will go after shrimp, snails and usually leave corals alone. What about tank mates? Blenny and Hawkfish I was thinking.

I have a red Sex max E170 trying to see my options here.

I may even start over dont like the looks of my rock. I think have dino

Other fishes' fins are toast, in my experience with puffers, but others with direct info on this species may know more.
