Tired Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 What size tank, and what lighting? What clams? What type of snails? Neither of those fish eat coral, but they're very, very messy fish, so it's going to depend on how clean you can keep the tank. Quote Link to comment

I don't know the species of the snail and clams but there are medium sized. 220 liters is way to small for a porcupine puffer or a lion fish. You need at least 400-500 even for smaller ones. If you are wanting puffers and lion fish. Look for smaller puffers like a Valentin's sharpnose puffer or a dwarf lion fish. Quote Link to comment
Tired Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 You should also know the species of every animal you intentionally add to your tank, especially the clams. Many clams don't do well in aquaria without special care. 1 Quote Link to comment
