Got a juvenile Queen in reef tank. She's a model fish and never touches any corals :spin3:

 

[pab2005]

As I said a model citizen :spin3:

YET... But she probably will, are you planning a new home for her? I love these fish, its a shame they get so big & both aggressive & destructive..

all fish are truely "reef-safe" becuase they live in the ocean. some (probably many) nip at corals and such becuase they are hungry. if you keep them full they wont (or are less likely to) eat corals but once they start they wont stop becuase its free food that is there 24/7.

I don't see my Bi-color actually bugging anything, but since the mushrooms took over, I only have them & a Favia left.

Coral Beauty and Flame Angel in with LPS & SPS & Softies and doesn't touch anything, a year and a half.

 

[All Delight]

Softies and LPS

Flame angel

Not reef safe. Only had him for 1-2 weeks, sold him.

Picked at clams and acans. Really enjoyed picking at the clam, seemed like he picked on it every 2 mins. Did not bother ricordea or zoas/palys.

Majestic Angel, bought several months ago as a small adult. Reef includes SPS, one softie, palys, small acan and closed (favia) brain. The only thing the angel has eaten so far is half of a 3" chalice. Must have been hungry, I was away on business and the tank was underfed. When I first put it in the display it ate a couple palys but they are nasty and hasn't touched them since. It often seems to taste corals, particularly monti. capricornis, but leaves no mark.

Potters and Flame in mixed reef with clams. Haven't touched a thing in 2 years. :thumbsup:
