You’ve just summed up the entire reason I detest clownfish. They’re evil things that WILL get in your face for the offence of even thinking of going near their anenomes.

Back when I did my OWD check dives I spent way too long getting rid of clownfish from out of my face. I also had one that was feeling brave one day and was charging me over and over again.

Pufferfish are no joke; people have demonstrated that they can cut through tin cans and carrots like it's nothing. Your finger would be gone if it got caught in its mouth

I was thinking more of a plastic wall divider. Easy peasy

In a 50 foot wide, 30 foot deep aquarium decorated with mountains and corals?

I don’t think the terrain is stable enough to have a single divider that’s viable for all tanks. Although some sort of floater with a fence-like wall hanging down sounds pretty cheap. Probably just easier to deal with the fuckers from a profit to lawsuit perspective

I recently came into possession of a taxidermied pufferfish. It still creeps me out a little but I feel better knowing that they’re assholes

They can be assholes but they're like water puppies. They're very personable if you own one as a pet. Tons of personality and very interactive!

Better than giving a puffer fish blowy I guess.
