Hi,
My tank was originally planned as a FOWLR. Now it's a soft coral, anemone, gorgonia, mushroom tank with a small clean up crew of some snails and sand sifting stars. The following is the fish I have kept without losing corals or anything else. I had a nice shrimp collection UNTIL I put in the two Thallasoma Wrasse Cortez and Banana.
Clown Trigger
Trigger Aculeatus
Thallasomas Banana and Cortez
Hortulanus Wrasse
Zebra and Snowflake morays
Angels Ciliaris, Xanthometopon, Imperator, Navarchus, Loriculus
Surgeons Lucosternon, Hepatus, Achilles, Xanthurum
Anthias Sqaumipinis
Clowns Clarki and Occeleris
These are also fish residing together, however...The Clown Trigger got a new home recently after outgrowing the tank. He was sub sandwich size. Removed two Angels to give room for the large Ciliaris. Everyone needs a bed for the night.
Perhaps we can enlarge this list. I'm especially looking for fish that are traditionally considered NOT reef SAFE but let's not exclude anything either that you have found Softy safe.
Also, this is my experience. If you try something and it devours your 30" Sinularia, don't sue me. I consider myself a rather brutal reefer.
