What Reef unsafe fish do you have in your Reef
 

Who here has had success with fish not considered 'REEF SAFE' in a reef tank. Please be specific as to what corals you have with the fish

thanks

I have a Blueface angel in my 150g with sps's and lps's. I've had him since a wee little fella and so far he has been good at not nipping anything. Just has to tolerate my Sohol.

- Imperator angel with sps, clams, zoas, lps, softies, and shrimp. It never touched any of them, great fish up until its untimely death. I would consider getting another juvi. in the future.

- Singapore angel, with the same as above. Never touched anything either, great little fish with lots of personality. However, I had a second one and it was mean mean mean!

- Snowflake eel, again with the same as above. Model citizen up until the point when a person came up to the tank. He had to go after he made a lunge at me on the other side of the glass.

I have a coral beauty which I know is a 50/50 risk, but he's been stellar for me. I have softies, LPS, Zoos and a clam

Has anyone had any success keeping any type of corals with queen angels? Always wanted to have a queen angel but here there one of the worst in a reef and a fowlr just seems to plain to me would be nice to at least have some noxious corals that are unlikely to be eaten like colorful mushrooms, finger leathers or toadstools at the very least or some hardy sps like plates and digitata. Any ideas?

My wife's porcupine puffer & cowfish are in a tank with digitata and mushroom corals. No problems. Althought the cowfish did pick up and nibble the sand shifting starfish.

Bi-color angel for me. Also a luck of the draw fish. He's never touched anything in my mixed reef.

Have a potter's angel that I got from Sam who is very well behaved. Also have a blue boxfish that keeps the tank free from tube worms but that's her only vice.

My Tinkers Butterfly.

I have everything from Clams, SPS, zoo's leathers etc. He has not eaten any corals but he has picked at corals trying to get the mysis shrimp out of them after a coral feeding.
