Thanks! Haven't fed him yet, letting him settle in. Even though he doesn't move much he's fun to look at! Such a cool pattern these guys have! What do you guys recommend to be a good staple diet for these guys?

They are pisivores by nature, so i used to feed mine de-shelled mussels + clams / prawns / crays etc..

Snails and those they wont touch...

He seems to love his tank, actually been swimming around quite a bit! Do you guys think I should treat with prazi as he is a new fish or no? He's not showing any signs or anything but as a precaution? I'm thinking he is wild caught as well.
 
I personally used to always deworm as a precaution, since most puffers seem to be still wild caught...
 
^ From reading here, prazi alone should be okay... also no need to remove decor, but make sure to follow the instructions carefully, and if in any doubt, start with half dose...
