  • Very important, but one or two fish may be enough

    Votes: 5 11.9%

  • Optional... a coral-only reef can feel completely finished

    Votes: 2 4.8%

  • I actually prefer a coral-and-invertebrate-only system

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • It depends on the tank’s size, style, or purpose

    Votes: 6 14.3%

  • I’ve kept a fishless reef (details in the comments)

    Votes: 1 2.4%
