Semilavartus (1 Viewer)

[YakAg]

Anyone have experience with this fish in a Reef tank? I have been working my Red Sea Biotope for a year and have many LPS and SPS corals in the tank with some chromis and a Xanthurum. I have read conflicting information on the Semilavartus with some saying they will destroy a reef and others saying they are somewhat safe and will only nip at soft corals. My pulsing Xenia is growing so fast, it could use some nipping.

These fish will be in quarantine for a month, once I get them. If they are not appropriate for the reef tank, I will be looking to sell them.

well why not get one, and put some Xenia and other small corals in the quarantine with them to find out their nipping preferences, ...
