reef safe?

 

[FishLipz]

Questionable at best. I've heard this go both ways.

Say goodbye to any soft corals....zoas, bowerbankie, acans...and they LOVE bright colors.

Other than that $$$....great pet!

 

[Crooks]

Which corals is it most likely to eat? Are clams out of the question with this fish?

 

[FishLipz]

Yes. Anything is potential angel food. SPS is a better bet with this fish

Angels are hit and miss. At best you have a 50/50 shot with dwarf angels, but the emporer one, chances are slim.

I've found them to be relatively safe as juveniles but as once they became adults they started to get a taste for corals, especially zoas, even when well fed.

yeah, and no telling what day they are going to decide to start eating your corals.

Watched my friends world class male adult just go nuts on his big $$$$ zoas and palys! Lol....he was not watching.

When I told him there was three colonies thrown all over his tank! That Emporer was having a feast!

And those adults have huge apetities! His eats out of our hands just about anything.

Yes...sps or brown no color corals.

 

[Crooks]

If they eat brown zoas I am getting one for sure. I dont know any other way to get ride of these things.

 

[Kbra]

If youre super lucky but generally no

+1 to this. It's a gamble.
