 |  Coral Beauty and star polyps
I am interested in getting a coral beauty for my tank and i have read that they are prone to nip at soft corals. Think my star polyp would be safe with one in the tank? |

they usually eat coral when they are hungry or just interested in something.so proper amounts of food usually stop that from occuring. | |

You know. I've heard this regarding almost all of the dwarf angels. But in experience, I've kept all of the dwarf angels in reef aquariums, even with clams, and have never, not even once, had any problems with corals, flames, african flamebacks, bi-colors, etc etc. never had any issues with any coral beauty eating softies in any of my own or clients aquariums. | |
