Coral Beauty Dwarf Angelfish

[mixmaster]

I've been fish keeping for about 12 years now, and have kept coral beauty before, but never with soft polyp corals. I've seen conflicting reports whether it will nip at stony or soft corals, and I don't know which one to trust. I have several expensive and very beautiful specimens in my tank, and don't want them eaten! If anyone has experience with this fish in a reef, let me know!!! THANKS!

mine picks at everything in the tank bar none
am told mine is the exception to the rule but I
would not chance it, Id get rid of mine if only I could catch it

I have a coral beauty and it has never bothered coral of any type. It seems to be happy to pick at live rock though.

i have a coral beauty, i have no problems with it. never seen it pick on my corals.

Mine never picked at anything but each fish has its own personality so some will pick at corals and some won't. IMO I wouldn't add one if you have a lot of expensive corals because although the cb may not pick at them there is a chance that he will. JMO

THANKS EVERYONE!
I decided not to get one, and went for a Purple tang instead. I got a great deal on him because he has the beginning signs of HLLE. The lateral line is all healed, and his head is healing already with the great water in my reef. Hands down, I like the purple tang better than the CB. Thanks again for all the info!

Do you have any angelfish? I have a sick one and thought you might have knowledge about it.
