I just saw J&L has bunch of black molly which fully acclimated to salt water, I wonder if anyone has experience keeping them. They are so cute.

Mollies are one of the few if only traditional fw tank fish that will do ok in sw set-ups. You just have to be patient when converting them over.... heres a link to a video.

These are already converted, I wonder if they are reef safe or not!

Ya, they are. They are great algae eaters.

There is actually quite a few different species that naturally start their lives in total freshwater and migrate their way down to saltwater as they get older. I know green spotted puffers, figure 8 puffers, pea puffers, archer fish, and mono sebae's have been known to be totally ok in a full saltwater environment as long as they are slowely acclimated.
