    Default Are My Fish Coral Friendly?

    Hello there,
    I'm excited that I'm going to get my 1st ever piece of coral. it's a Zoa from "clone" which he originally got from "joelb" I want to make sure that my fish are not going to eat them.
    By the way I have a 55gal 7months old with 2 1/2"of sand, 60lbs live rock, wet/dry filter(contain bioballs & live rock rubbles), and a Coralife super skimmer rated for 125gal. For lightning 4 t5's 54w. I would like to know if there are some coral safe fish you think I should get in case if I need to remove some of the fish I have now, and what kind of supplement(s) I need to purchase

    1) False Percula clown
    1) Hippo Tang
    1) Yellow Tang
    1) Bicolor pseudocromis
    1) Huma huma (picaso triger)

    Thank you very much

    possible/probable that this one will at least nip at corals. maybe not to eat them, but to pick on the rock under them.

    make sure you feed him/her well.
    Reefing is just like cooking, all the ingredients have to be just right , except you don't have to bring the water to a BOIL...

    HAving kept Picassos before I wouldnt keep it. If he does decide to nip at your corals they are hard to remove from the tank due to their habit of wedging them selves in rocks using their trigger fin. Go with a more reef friendy Trigger like a Pink tail and if you can afford it cross hatches are great to.

    Thank you everyone for your input. I'm going to try him out for a few hours and see if he eats anything before I get rid of him
