:welcome
Would you like to add some more specs to the setup?
there is a template you can use in the TJ section.
havent seen a tank with a valantiny puffer for ages,
how does it go in your tank. to my understanding they can be poisonous.

all puffers, dragonets and boxfish have toxins in their skin. This is used only as a defence. In the case of puffers, the flesh has to be consumed. However in the case of the dragonets (aka stinkfish) and boxfish, the animals can secrete a toxin which has the potential to kill fish in close proximity.

Great little fish

He just buzzes around doing his own thing, then swims up to us when we approach the tank, he's seems to be all the visitors and my wifes fav.

He hasn't touched the coral either, though I haven't seen my peppermint shrimp in a while

I saw one of my peppermints tonight, so at least one is still around. They are both hide and seek champions that's for sure

I find it amazing how they hide so well.

What ever angle and what ever area I tied looking at I couldn't never see them.

It just happens to be if I switched the light on ay night I catch them out
