All data up to this point entered.

Some percents so far:

Blueface - 75%
Flame - 86%
Coral Beauty - 84%
Regal - 70% (lots of notes on this one though)
Majestic - 80%
Potter - 89%

Others dont have enough data yet

where are you getting all the information/stats from???
bec (for instance) havent noticed any 'negative' feedback on the majestics yet you only have it rated at 80%... (and we are 'contemplating' adding one to our tank)

if its not too much work
can you also provide in the 'percentages' the number of 'votes' for each fish...

so iow if a fish has a 'negative' rating -
is it based on a 100 votes against or only 1?... that would give a lot more 'credibility' for the individual 'ratings'

thanks for doing the research/work!



regards

:thumbsup:

There is another thread going in the Reef Fishes Forum.

What you mention - the total number of votes - is a concern as to the credibility. I have every intention of posting the whole file which includes all that information, but to post it now wouldn't really matter since at this point it's changing every few hours anyway. However, as you mention, a lot of the fish are either 0 or 100% at this point because they only have one response - which I why I didn't bother posting them.

[Elysia]

Coral Beauty -- Centropyge bispinosus
In my tank for well over a year now, and is now 3" TL.
Was a bit of a fish bully until the addition of a blackcap gramma -- fish bully is his/her job now.
Corals in tank: Montipora cap, Blastos, candycane, turban, Kenya tree, xenia, star polyps, toadstool, zoas, palys, mushrooms, rics.
I have never seen the angel pick/nip/bite any of the corals. He/she does pick at the live rock, and at my one large snail if it can get to its flesh. The fish feeds on frozen food and pellets, plus whatever tasty things it is finding on those rocks.

[landlord]

Centropyge Bicolor
Time: 18 months
Reefsafe: No (Clams on the menu)

Notes:
--100% SPS tank over 75 colonies untouched, clams beware!
--Due to overcrowding and an aggressive Tomato Clown, the bicolor has been beaten up against sharp SPS corals to the point where he is lacking many many scales an looks like the walking dead, as does my Yellow Tang

I have a 3" rusty angel and I haven't seen it nip at anything but algae for six months. It is also non-aggressive toward other fish.

 

[corbett_n]

I forgot to mention I have sps,lps,zoos, clam

coral beauty: 2 years old, will occasionally get in a stare down contest with the two clowns, like he might want to do something but just swims around peacefully otherwise. Picks at rockwork but nothing else. Mine is very active and always comes to the front of the glass to show itself off.

DP, Mod please delete the first post.

I have 2 flame angels I would consider them reef safe as I only seen them pick at a sps a few times and never seen any damage to the coral. I have had the one angel for over five years and the second I have had at least a year. They are fairly aggressive chasing my anthias all over and bossing around everything but the purple tang he tries to slice them when they start there crap.

 

[mutateddogbone]

ive had 2 flame angels. the first one did not pick at any of my corals. the second one started to pick at my clam when i first got him but have started feeding more and doesnt pick at him anymore.

I have an imperator Adult colors about 7 inches long. Also I have a flame. Both are housed in a 150gal reef. Both are well fed, the imperator ignores the reef all together.....the flame will periodically pick at the base of y candycane......but never causes damage.

I love em both....

Wow Im surprised that your Emp is so well behaved. I had one that was well fed and it would still rip the $hit out of my Zoas, star polyps..

 

[frank40]

wontonebei angel....not sure of the spelling but i have her for almost 2 years in my mainly sps tank and has never even glanced at them

 

[rendogg]

I've got a Majestic with an appetite for anything red. I had some really nice red mushrooms and a RBTA go down because of it. I just lost a couple GBTA and some green shrooms the other day so I think it's taste has shifted..... you think you know your fish and then they go and do something totally unpredictable.... other than that, it's reef safe:hmm4:
