Alright guys, it's Monday and we have another MACNA 2017 speaker video for you!

Here is the second speech from Austin Lefevre about keeping possible coral nippers in your reef tank.

Nice talk this one I really enjoyed the talk as I was one of those people that thoyght it was imposible to keep all this species in a reef tank without them eating all my corals.

Thank you for all this guidelines, but at the end you say one specific species tend to be better than others at not picking corals. Could you be a little more specific in here, like a list of centropyge, a list of butterfly and a list of angels??

Thank you!!

Thanks so much for posting this one. Have been looking forward to it since hearing of it mentioned in his other talk. I learned a lot here.

great video, well presented. I might just try another goldflake angel in my predominately sps reef. I had one about 6 months ago who was picking at my corals, and when things went downhill for what I eventually discovered was a different reason I was too quick to pull the plug. Beautiful fish.

Austin, would you be willing to share your lists of better centropyge angels and chaetodon butterflies to try here? Thanks!

As far as data on individual species, I've had a thread going over on RC since 2009 and compiled the results in a spreadsheet. Looks like I can't attach an excel file here though.
