Default Puffer Fish

I ordered some corals online for my 90ga reef tank and they mixed up the order and sent me five assorted puffer fish instead. I e-mailed them and they said I could keep the fish and they would send me my orginal order. I know puffers aren't reef safe, but I read that a hawian spotted puffer could be kept in a reef tank. I have one of those and was wondering if I should keep that one and give the others to the LFS. If anyone has an hawian spotted puffer in a reef tank please let me know.

man, i wish i had that kind of mistake made when i order stuff...you are one lucky S.O.B. i would sell those fish in a heartbeat and use that money towards what you really bought.

i would really like a puffer fish though...just not willing to take a chance on coming home from work and seeing a horror show aftermath.

but hey...if you can throw him in the tank and have the time to monitor it for a day or so why not try.

It was saltwaterfish.com. I recieved my original order today and all was there and alive. I'm very pleased with their service. Both the fish and the corals were healthy. I would definately order from them again.
