ok i need to know if the following fish are reef safe. (from your experience)
flame angel
coral beauty
snowflake eel
volitans lionfish
clown trigger
ive read some site and alot say not reef safe for the following fish. but there is a few that say they are indeed reef safe. i knwo the eel and lion fish will eat shrimp so i dont plan on keeping them but i have 45 hermit crabs in my tank now. what ones of these fish will be ok to keep with most corals?

The clown trigger is deffenatly NOT reef safe. However both the flame angel and the coral beauty are.

flame angel, coral beauty
Potentially harmful, 50/50 shot of being reef-safe
snowflake eel, volitans lionfish
Safe with corals, will produce large bioload which will raise nitrates, which will inturn affect corals if you do not control it well
clown trigger
Definitely not safe

I would like to see the site that said a Clown Trigger is reef safe.

i had a coral beauty in my reef for around 8 months before it jumped ship.... so they are pretty reef safe, id say they are safer than a flame angel

I have had both CB and Flame, neither has touched my corals, I have seen my flame nip at my xenia once or twice but caused no dmage at all.
