Hello, I'm trying to design my system selecting fish-safe corals rather than reef-safe fish. I'm planning the system with benthic feeders (angels and butterflies) in mind. I reviewed Austin Lefevre's great talk on what corals these fish tend to eat vs. leave alone; however, it doesn't discuss corallimorphs like Ricordea yuma and bounce mushrooms. What is the consensus? Are these corals more likely to get eaten like the semi-fleshy LPS corals and zoanthids, or more likely to be left alone like leathers and Acropora?

 
in my experience, mushrooms / corallimorphs have not been nibbled on by animals (urchins, filefish) that sometimes nibble other corals in my system.
Other people may have a different experience.
