Acropora with Damsels...

Anyone have any sps big enough to act as a safe haven for your tiny fish like damsels. If you watch nature videos or seen pics of this you know its quite an interesting image.

I'm pretty sure your damsels won't need to hide anywhere. The huge fish that eat damsels don't usually live in aquariums. Your damsels will probably be the "top dogs" of your tank, even with fish many times their size.

thats true but at night they will take shelter in it and also i would guess if you stick your hand in as well. This really seems like a hit or miss. The Acro would need to be pretty big.

I have a friend who has some very large 5 year old colonies, and his green chromis sleep in them night.

Pretty cool to see
