Are mollies Reef Safe?

[samdaman]

I Have both a reef and FOWLR, I'm thinking of putting mollies in my frag tank, that way I can breed them, do they pick on corals?

I've never heard of that issue, just that some people have used them for algae control, I believe they are straight vegetarians/herbivores.

I've never heard of them nipping coral either. I know someone that has several with a small elegance without issue.

Cool Thanks guys, Anyone know what the best time frame for acclimating them. I was reading and it said about .001 an hour.. so that would take more or less 2 days?

I've heard even longer to bring up to our salinity safely, but this is not my area, just what I've read.
It was a hot topic a couple years ago, haven't seen much on it lately.
