Commonly available but not reef safe. Another pufferfish in the reef are the guineafowl puffers also appear in coral reefs all around the indo pacific region. I have kept stars and stripes 5 years up to about 15 porc up to about 9 mappa guineafowl and currently a burrfish dogface and green spotted puffer all with soft corals and no problems.
Any of your toby puffers are usually but not always coral safe. No puffer is invert safe although some may leave inverts alone for a while. Guineafowl puffers are omnivores and will feed on tips of branching corals mollusks sponges tunicates algae bryozoans and detritus.
