Spiny Box Fish

[Staaan]

Been looking all around and can't figure this out totally.. I know that cowfish are not reef safe. But are Spiny Box Fish?

No they aren't.
Suggested for FOWRL only. The eat inverts.

From Fresh Marine :
It uses its powerful teeth to feed primarily on hard-shelled mollusks, sponges and coral.

Ah.. alright cool. Thanks for the info.

Was looking for a "replacement" for a porcy puffer :-(

I'm assuming no boxfish or puffers are really 100% reef safe?

You assume correctly
