I'm considering a FOWLR down the road, so I can have the spectacular species I admire (I don't have a list, but).
One hears "that fish will eat coral, not reef safe".
Ok, I get that, but I'm wondering if things like zineas and other "weed" corals can grow faster than they get consumed? Or are there some coral that even coral eating fish won't touch (will zoas poison the fish?)?
Is it not possible to have coral at all in a FOWLR? (I realize that by definition, it doesn't have corals, but trying to understand the ecology that might be possible or impossible in a tank.)
I don't really like the idea of a tank with just a bunch of rock and fish... and artificial corals and what not give me the creeps.
