Have had the same one in my reef for about six years now. Hardy fish and I haven't seen it picking at corals.

One of the loveliest fish I have ever had. Never touched my zoas or lps. I really loved it!

I have one in my reef tank and never bullies or goes after any coral. She is truly a beauty, no regrets at all.

I've had one before and sold it because it was nipping at a clam I had. I don't have any clams in my tank now so I bought another one and I'm glad I did, it started eating pellet food in a couple of days and no picking at corals.. as of yet. Next time I want a flame though.

I added one about a month ago. She played strange for about a week always hiding, then decided she ruled the tank for a week and was nipping at some of the other fish. But she has since settled down and gets along with her tank mates. I have not seen any evidence that she is interested in any of my corals either. I'm super happy with my decision to add a coral beauty.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
