I have seen these eat small live fish... I think they can also eat shrimps since they are carnivores

I agree w/Arnie. There a ton a fish that get the monicker of "nonreef safe"; a very subjective term in this hobby. And the reason why people don't put this type of fish in their "reef safe" systems is because of the labeling many fish get. Or they get destroyed because they went after an acro, clam, or favorite zoa (remember, these are their natural foods in the wild).Many triggers, wrasses, puffers, triggers, angels, butterfly fish we put in our systems w/out so much a thought whether or not they are reef safe, where in fact they are actually not "reef safe".

Betas are exquisite fish and I would put one in my system. I would just stuff the living **** out of him first to acclimate him/her to prepared foods. Remember, a well fed fish in an enclosed system will not go after it's natural food source they typically find in the wild in an enclosed system. My .02.
