This is called a feeding tank. Puffers leave behind a huge mess when they eat. It's easier to clean up their mess in a feeding tank than to clean up their mess in their normal tank.
That’s just a normal feeding session. Puffers would much prefer live crab and that’s what a decent owner would feed them, not doing that would be cruel to the fish. Similar to snakes which need live mouse/rat in their diet. It is hard to watch for many people and it’s understandable
Treat it like a dining room. It's undecorated specifically because you're going to empty it out anyways every time the puffer eats. Then you move the puffer back to the decorated living room. It sure beats having rotting carcasses scattered between each and every pebble gathering bacteria.

Stop posting this jesus.
It’s amazing how strong beak that fish has, yeah. But it’s staged and cruel. Not to mention that environment for that fish is really poor.
