What's your experience w/ Coral Beauties?

Well, I'm coming to the true experts...

I'm trying to find out if these guys are acceptible in reef tanks.
Eg: will they harm an RTB w/ hosting clowns, will they harm cleaner shrimp or brittle stars?

BTW, he will be the last fish in the tank.

they're harmless

I had to take mine out of my 200, I had him and a flame and they did not bother each other, however, he picked on my clam, some sps and starfish. He also went after all my snails when they came up to eat. I dealt with him for a few months but at the end I had to get rid of him. I think its all random, because I've had one before that didn't give me one problem...

A CB would be fine with the things you mentioned. Mine has never caused a problem with anything.

never touched a thing

I think they are wonderful. Mine was great... until he decided to jump out of a QT tank when I wasn't arround

CBA are beautiful fish... only risk is it may nip at sps polyps... doesn't seem you have sps so go get yourself a cba and enjoy!

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the input!

I've decided to go ahead and get one. I was a little concerned when I read they nip at sessile inverts (BTA). But knowing my 2 clowns will bite my hand, I think its safe to assume they will protect thier home from some nipper. LOL
