Best Answer

Puffers require a diet of hard shelled meaty foods, such as: clams, crabs, oysters, scallops, crayfish, and snails. Freezedried foods have been linked to loch-jaw, which is deadly for puffers. Certain puffers, such as Green Spotted Puffers are omnivorous and eat plant material (such as dried seaweed) added to their diet.

Puffer fish eat invertebrates and algae. Big puffer fish can crack open and eat clams, mussels, and also shellfish with their tough beaks.
