Which “Reef Safe with Caution” fish are you happy you added?

[Reefpuck]

I want to say my flame angel... cuz for the most part he leaves my corals alone.

However he doesn't leave the other fish alone. Not a model citizen... and on the way out soon.

Always wanted an Asfur but terrified to do it. Anyone have one? Experience?

My harlequin tuskfish. I bought it at 1" because of the price. It was a very stressful first year because it got beaten up so frequently but it is one of my favourite fish in my tank.

Mandarin... So far :-0

Added a Copperband and a Longnose Butterfly. No issues what so ever. I'm extremely happy with both since they really show a lot of character and are just beautiful fish.

I have a Pink TailTrigger, a Harlequin Tusk and a Dragon Wrasse in my reef. I love them and have had no problems. The first day the dragon wrasse was in the tank, he caused a dust storm but since then, great tank mates! I don't mind replacing hermits and snails occasionally.

This guy. Always wanted a nice showpiece fish and had an Aptasia problem so why not kill two birds right? Wrong... never touched the Aptasia but never touched any of the corals either so I got a nice showpiece fish. The Aptasia was eventually eliminated with Berghia Nudibranch.

Do you have any pics? That is a cool assortment of unique fish! Also did you add the Dragon Wrasse as a juvi? The Dragon Wrasse undergoes such San amazing transformation. I have only seen one DW in person.

Does your CBB eat from your hand?

I have had the Dragon Wrasse for quite a while. He was in my fowlr tank. He is still a juvenile. It is hard to get very good pics.

Harlequin tusk, no more hermit crabs or shrimp in the tank but beyond that he leaves everything else alone.

Really like your assortment of fish. That Dragon Wrasse is awesome.

I love this hobby! I have my tank in my office and enjoy it immensely! The Dragon Wrasse is one of my favorites!

You know I never tried feeding him with my hand. My fish get live Black worms first before getting either LRS or a cube of Mysis, and the Clowns and the CBB are right at the surface waiting for the worms. The CBB does eat the worms right from the dropper and if I keep it stationary he'll eat them all so I have to keep it moving so the other fish get a chance.

Flame Angle & Blue Spot Toby at home DT and a Coral Beauty & Valentini Puffer at my office DT.
None have ever picked at any corals and are pretty much model citizens, although my Blue Spot Toby will munch on any invert he can. I go thru snails like crazy which is way more preferable to having to replace the coral. He'll actually flip them over if they're on the sand and pick them right out of the shell. I've actually been lucky in that sense as with 2 tanks and nearly 20 fish, none seem to have the taste for coral.

Tobies are my favorite puffers.

All these gorgeous angles!!! I really really really want a Coral Beauty or Flame Angel but not sure how much of a risk it is with a mainy LPS dominant mixed reef. I keep my reef very well fed, e.g. two small feedings per day.
