setup another tank for him. Run a species only tank, or get a tank large enough to handle him and another fish or so. 125 gallon is what i would shoot for.

a puffers diet is made up of invertebrates and they are not reef safe. I would keep Mr. puffa and let him eat whatever is left.They are great fish
