What other fish do you have?

He seemed fine with all corals but if you have sps, I don't know for sure. I don't want to tell you he will be fine and then have him nip stuff.

I do have sps and I am planning on getting a lot more.
I have 5 Chalk Bass and 3 Gramma Loretos for fish in my 72 and thats it.
You're fu manchu looks so nice too.
I am almost thinking of setting up another tank (a fowler) just to be able to have fish like that.

Personally I wouldn't risk the Coral Beauty with the Chalk Bass. I am pretty sure it will harass them and Chalk Bass jump...so maybe not a good combo.

This fish was in my tank for over a year before I sold it to GreenSpottedPuffer. Very nice looking fish and he never nipped any corals in my tank and there were LPS and Softies in it.

Yup I have the same and it has not nipped anything either. I do have gorgonians too that it left alone.

I have my doubts that it would nip sps but I can't say for sure.

i had a rusty angel and tobbacco bass in the same rsm 34 gallon and they got along swimingly . they were both introduced around the same time. never saw the rusty angel pic at any coral. i had no sps at this point. tho.

meh...
I wouldn't risk it.
I put a yellow tail damsel and a black axil chromis in my tank a while back and that was the lesson learned.
Once a fish is in, it ain't coming out of my tank without destroying all the rockwork.

I just get somewhat optimistic when I see fish of this calibre.
