General Reef Safe "With Caution" Thread

[jaganshi066]

I have a friend that’s got a couple of them in different tanks that Don’t nip at anything So I thought I’d give it a try cause I love those fish so much

Oooh I need your friends fish haha

I have a female clown who loves to kill snails & chases shrimp ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ not exactly “reef safe”.

eats the snorkel off of nassarius / flings them at the glass. Also pushes coral frags off of rock work, damaging them if not glued down very well. Not to mention adding a fairy wrasse & a neon damsel to her tally... she will breach the water to bight me arm as well when doing tank maintenance.

Maybe its a knock on wood moment but my valentini puffer has turned overnight. In the past week he has been caught nipping on a two chalices, killed my Cyphastrea and an unknown favia. After two nights of watching with the lights off on the tank I finally caught him and ruled out my filefish as the murderer... Rough part is he is by far my favorite fish and started greeting me in the afternoons and spitting water when I forget to feed them.

Tough decision now... Someone recommend me some tank mates for a 40 breeder that are "with caution" or FOWLR that would get along with him.

Just emotionally crushed.
