Cleaner Shrimp with Saddle Puffer?

[bbailey]

I have been reading the info on puffers and various compatibilty charts but still not sure if I can have a cleaner shrimp in my 100G with a saddle puffer. I read that puffers will eat shrimp but also read that fish recognize cleaner shrimp and dont mess with them. any advice? thank you.

Unfortunatly I think this is going to be one of those case by case things, where fish A eats all the inverts in the tank and fish B doesn't. I personally think that if the cleaner was added first and is of a nice size then the smaller saddle puffer probably won't mess with him. But if the fish is in the tank first and has been used to eating feeder shrimp he might go after the cleaner when you put him in. I would say go for it and let us know how it works out, but then again I'm not the one paying for the cleaner shrimp.
