When I first set my salt water tank, our local fish store sold me mollies to help with the cycle.
As my tank already was at 1.025 salinity, I asked about this being hard on them and was told to just float the bag as usual and slowly add some salt water. After a few hours they were added to the tank with no ill results. Could not have been to hard on them as I had a number the females give birth in the first month. We started with six mollies and after the tank cycled, I took about 40 back to the per store.

They start swimming all over the tank.
one question when they breed will my fish eat their babies? I have a pair of clown, a bengali cardinal , a firefish , a diamond goby and a coral beauty angel.

I am sure that most of your fish would eat the babies. When I had mine, the mollies were all that were in the tank and most of them seemed to find enough hiding spots in the rocks and made it, but some did get eaten as well.
At the time I was also running a canistar filter and many "lived" in there until I cleaned it.

i found that 90% went into the overflow (made it easy to get them out) and the other 10% snack food!

Molly's are good is a saltwater system..
I had a couple of Molly's given to me awhile ago and they are great in a reef tank..I have balloon mollys and no problem. They are algea grazers as well.
 Molly's adapt very well into marine aquariums,just convert slowly if they exist in a fresh water system.They are great for a cycling fish as well..They reproduce very well,so a little live food for the rest of our fish can be a little treat.(unfortunatly for the ones that can't hide good enough.  A few Molly's are great,although a whole tank full of them might be alittle much.
