Coral Beauty in a reef tank
I have a 40 gallon breeder that is currently home to two Ocellaris Clowns and a Skunk Cleaner Shrimp. It is a fowler now with plans to make it a reef in the next couple of months. I was planning on adding a Royal Gramma, Purple Fire fish, and a YWG/Pistol shrimp pair. However, I really like the look of the Coral Beauty and was thinking of adding the Coral Beauty instead of the Purple fire fish and YWG/pistol shrimp pair. Has anyone had success with Coral Beautys in reef tanks?

It seems that different people have different results. It depends on the individual fish. I had a CB for a while and it never bothered any of my corals.

I had one for a few months and he left all my SPS LPS and polyps alone however, he died for unknown reasons. I will not hesitate in buying another one

I've got one. Bought him as a juvenile two years ago. Peaceful creature, actually helps my tangs eat algae, and sometimes goes for Nori. I bought him together with a tang, so maybe he thinks he is a tang! LOL! Does not bother any of the LPS, SPS, NPS, softies.......
I've heard they are hit or miss, maybe I just got lucky.
