Welcome to the world of dealing with Parasites...

Thats exactly what i was dealing with not too long ago with my puffer... i would start soaking your puffers food in anti parasite meds to try and get rid of the problem ASAP...

Oh, and make sure to get rid of it when you see it in the tank so your puffer doesn't accidentally eat it again...
 
^ Well, not so much they eat it on purpose... but when they eat their normal food, and if the left-over IP's are in the tank, they might inhale it by accident...

But i do agree... it isn't the most pleasant thing in the world to wake up to in the morning... especially when the IP's are over 6" long and dangling from a puffers bum...
 
I think as with all tanks, they can be useful... i personally use one on my 200G and can't complain... although is it necessary is down to personal opinion...
 
Animals are weird--my dog loves rabbit poo.
 
Depends on what he's eating. Why do you think he's be stressed? More importantly, how's his "figure"?
 
Rite now 2shrimp a day .Because of shipping from tank to tank then ick .
He's getting round he was in bad shape. That's why I ask about stress.
