Predator Tank Corals ?

[adam1993]

I went to set up a predator tank, puffers, tangs, angelfish and triggers Ect.

What corals if any are more likely to survive with these types of fish ?

Most predator fish will eat corals... that's why predator tanks are usually FOWLR

Yeah, I’ve seen 1 or 2 on youtube with some softies in aswell as predator fish

Yeah, I don't think there's a lot of choices here, maybe some macro algae might be a better choice?

Maybe @littlefoxx would know?

I have a predator reef including a Niger trigger, wrasses, and a desjardani sailfin.
I have had softies - mushrooms, leathers, and zoas.
I did have sps before, and will again without any worry about my trigger eating them. I keep Jello very well fed.

Why not try a frag of Xenia and GSP? First, they probably won't find it too tasty. And second, you're not risking anything big financially, if they do.

Unappetizing corals. Maybe Galaxea. GSP. Pulsing Xenia

Unappetizing corals.

I don't even want to know how you determine this.

Beautiful! Is that a big ribbon eel?

(Predator fish, in search of something more tasty than Xenia.)

I have a Colorado nem and some softies - leather & mushrooms

Everything in this tank will be moving into the 180g by next week, hopefully

I used to keep my predators in a reef, mostly zoas, anemones, leathers and torches is what I had in my old 125 gallon. I don't keep a reef right now just because its more work with predators and bioload and I just don't have the time to care for a reef tank with them in it and just needed an easier tank for now!
