Coral Beauty and Macroalgae

[Biotopes]

I am thinking about a Coral Beauty as the "centerpiece" of my next tank. But my problem is I am putting mostly macroalgae in the same tank. :deadhorse1:

Will it bother macro's? Even the harder, calcareous types?

 

[IowaReefer]

It may. Angels tend to differ widely in their eating habits and are known to eat macro fairly consistently. I have a potters angel now who mows down any stray halemida that gets into my DT.

Hmm, are there any you would consider more "macro-safe" than the coral beauty?

 

[LobsterOfJustice]

It might pick at the macro, but I can't imagine it completely tearing up all the macro in the tank like a tang or rabbit would, but I could be wrong.

I have read around and most people say that they will pick at it every once in a while, but tend to leave it alone. I think I'll go with a coral beauty then!
