Coral Beauty Angelfish in a reef

[ninjamini]

Is the Coral Beauty Angelfish reef safe. I have a little of everything. Do they pick at the corals or anything else?

you should be perfectly fine with a cb in a reef tank.
i would monitor just to be safe.

Depends on the fish i've read that you should introduce them with caution.

Some will pick at corals and clams. If you keep it well fed it could better your chances.

Thanx all I will stay away from the pretty fish.

I've heard of them "picking" at corals but not of them actually doing any damage. Mine would on occasion taste a polyp but never broke the skin so to speak.

My coral beauty never bothers anything, but I may have just gotten lucky with her.

My mom has a coral beauty in her reef and it leaves her corals alone.

I had one that nipped at my trumpet corals as well as my feather dusters. It seems it is really hit or miss with them.

Was there any physical damage done?

Nope, but the feather dusters stopped coming out. They never broke the skin. They just caused irritation (to the feather Dusters that is)

I have had mine for years with corals and it does just as xDave said, never any damage to the corals.

Thanx all i passed on this fish.
