Coral Beauty

Is the coral beauty a possibly reef safe angel fish?

atzak · 09/16/2007, 06:54 PM

depends on the coral, IMO. I think sps and brain corals would be possible problems

ScubaDiver93 · 09/16/2007, 07:01 PM

i have an open brain

I have a sea rod in my tank and all my coral beauty does is nip at it.

Well my coral beauty does fine in my tank, I have mostly softies with a couple caps and some frogspawn/torch corals. She just nips at the live rock.

I have one with an openbrain, mazebrain,frog'sprown and torch and 2 greenbulb aneome's and 1 sherman rosebud aneome, multible other lps's and leather's no problem's with mine. Infact I think he's one of my better behaved fish. But each fish will behave differantly, Good luck!

Yah, I have a coral beauty and a few corals and anemones. I haven't had any problems yet... I think it's hit or miss. I think if you make sure they're fed properly and get a "nice" one, then you're in luck...

Most defnitly, I want to do a flameAngle but that would be a battle till death. (NOT WISE)

Mine is ok. Some are not. I have a brain, sps, zoas ect.. It does nip at feather dusters though.

How long have you had each other together? I have allway's read and heard that it's not a good idea to do that. esspesily if one or the other has time to etablesh territory in the tank.

Coral beauties seem to be picky ... they'll usually nip at brain corals and feather dusters, but will most often leave other corals alone. The brains must be tasty or something
