Dragon face pipefish (are vortechs safe?)

[WTyson]

Im considersing putting a pair of dragon face pipefish in my reef tank, but i have an mp 10 in the tank and want to make sure that it will not be a problem.

Put the foam guard over the intake and I would say yes, IME with a MP20 in a 30g.

I have 3 mp 10s in my 65 with 3 dragon face, a blue stripe, 2 janss', and a banded pipe(all eat frozen). The pipes all stay near/inside the rockwork and therefore never get close to 2 of the vortechs. One vortech is near the rocks, the flagtails have no problem maneuvering near the pump and the dragonface seem to have figured out how to avoid the high flow sections.

I lost one banded pipe to a vortech but I could not get it onto frozen and I believe it died before getting sucked in

specs in water are cyclopeeze

I have a pair, and they have no Issue swimming against a MP40 and even a tunze 6105.
