Coral List for "non-reef safe" fish

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Most softies will be fine and with large Angels, sps are surprisingly resilient. It's mainly LPS that I find are irresistible to coral munchers.

I've seen some nice semi-FOWLRs with all sorts of mushrooms, colt, kenyan tree, leathers, and star polyps. You can try with some common zoas and palys to see if they chomp on them and if they don't then add the more colourful expensive varieties.

Any specific types of non-reef-safe fish you're interested in?

Some species are considered NON-reef-safe because they will eat all the inverts like hermit crabs, snails, crabs, and shrimp. Others are clam eaters or LPS (like brains) eaters.

Clown gobies, for instance, sometimes nip the polyps on sps corals, but leave everything else alone.

Personally looking mostly at butterflies and angels but would like to keep things general in terms of fish but at the same time keeping to coral eaters and not invert eaters.

I know soft corals and sps are generally pretty good choices but looking for more specific answers like FishyFishy's post. A brief idea on what kind of fish you're referring to and a specific list of corals that have done well, in addition any corals that have not done well is also encouraged.

Really tough. I had a Queen Angel, didn't touch anything. I had a second Queen, it touched everything.

anything ugly (brown palys) and grows like a weed (xenia) generally doesnt get touched

How true is that! Even the fish don't want to touch those!
