How do you control algae in a FOWLR tank if most of the fish eat crustaceans and snails? Also what type of inverts if any can you place in a FOWLR tank and expect nothing to eat them?
:notsure:

no inverts with the trigger and puffer, but for a clean up crew snails and some hermits should be ok, most of the time they will be left alone but hermits tend to be eaten more than snails

i know the puffers and butterflys will eat your corals, large angels will also nip at corals. trigers will re=arange your tank sometimes and spit sand on your rock work and that can damage coral. i might be leaving something out, but most other fish that aren't considered reef-safe is b/c they eat inverts.
