is my GSP smart? does anyone else's puffer do this? i would look at my tank and see my bigger GSP emerging from the substrate, looks covered in sand like it was just playing and rolling around in it, i havent saw exactly what its doing yet, but i also see when it rises that it seems to sift sand out through its gills and the one day i actually saw it pick up a piece of crushed coral, chew on it and spit it back out. do you think my GSP is trimming its own teeth? i notice that my shells i scattered around my tank for decoration started to have edges missing from them that definitely look like bite marks. are GSP's one of those puffer species where the teeth grow a lot and need trimming eventually or is this something that i dont have to worry about as long as their is something for them to trim on. this same puffer i would see take a bite at my live rock a while ago, but hasnt done it in a long time. also, that time is coming for teeth trimming for my F8 puffers. my one i noticed a few days ago that its starting to look like bugs bunnys teeth, it still is able to eat and all so i know i have to do this soon. what is the best way to tranquililze my F8 puffers? i figured since one has to be done i might as well do the other. is clove oil the best way with cuticle clippers? im going to be nervous doing this as i have never ever had to do maintenance on a fish itself, only the tanks. i have read articles and watched youtube videos so i have a good idea, just want to know the best way of doing this. thanks guys 
go dedicated puffer keepers!!
p.s just read an article on the puffer forum, well not completely done reading but damn close, on a huge mess of IP's in a puffer. craziness! makes me not want to feed clams, mussel's etc, but you kind of have to, im definitely making sure i freeze my stuff and soak it in some sort of vitamins every time i feed and soak in anti parasitic meds every couple months.
