gold rim tang - reef safe?

[yooyoo88]

hi, i have read in the forum that gold rim tang is not reef safe, meaning they actually nip at corals. anyone has any experience with this fish?

they nip at lps or sps?

 

[Fishfirst]

generally all tangs are reef safe, but a few individuals get a taste for corals.

ive had a gold rim tang, but he never touched any of my corals (acros, toadstools, frogspawn, hammer). But ive had experience with the powder blue nipping my precious acro's, and nothing else

thanks a lot for your replys... i am getting desperate over the lack of answer from the reefing world...searched the internet but obtained little info on it.

is there any way of reducing the possibility of tang nipping corals?

what does nipping means actually? will the coral died because of constant nipping...i have not encountered such things before.

my tank consist mainly lps... so is it safe for me to have a gold rim inside
