Was wondering if anyone has made a list of corals that are generally left alone by typical non reef safe fish. I ask because one of my pred reefs has a Humu Rectangular Trigger and while I had to remove a finger leather due to nipping he absolutely will not touch my toadstool or kenya tree. (Notice I keep the cheap stuff with him lol.) Was thinking of trying some other varieties of lower cost, more resilient corals if anyone know of ones that generally are not liked by fish. I should also note he is kept well fed, eating 2 -3 clams 3 times daily and aside from the finger leather has proven to be a model citizen (by pred reef standards) for the past year I have had him in this tank.

Maybe Xenia?
Zoas? (Was concerned about the toxin)
 
So as an update I can expand my list a little. The Trigger committed the number one crime of bullying the dogface that the kiddos named cookie (no one messes with Cookie), so long story short our LFS now has a very mean butt Humu lol.
 
I will be doing a 210 FOWLR soon (tank, stand and canopy on order). I have been thinking about what corals I could put in there. Thinking mushrooms, green star polyps, leathers.... etc. There will be angels, dog face puffer and triggers. We will see what happens.
