it's a 50/50 when it comes to them being reef safe. I had one a couple of years ago and it nipped at all my corals. I just sold one that I had for over a year and it never touched any corals. I kept him well fed so maybe that was why he never nipped at anything, but like I said, it's a 50/50.

i personally think a 29 is to small they are very active swimmers and will dart in and out of your rocks all day. as tech said its a 50/50 shot. i had one and it nipped at every sps coral i had in the tank. other people have them will everything under the sun and it doesn't touch a thing.

No...tank is too small

My fave fish in my 29gal is my African Midas Blenny. Very friendly, and loves to 'say hi' to me whenever I go near the tank. He swims around all the time, and observes the family from his favorite perch when he is resting. Eats absolutely anything. What my clowns eat, he eats.

In my 29g I have
African Midas
2x Occelaris Clown
6-Line Wrasse

My 6-line has been a good citizen so far. A great cleaner of pods and common flatworms. Occasionally picks/cleans the other fish too. But, sometimes it can be a small nag to the other fish. It is fast, and thinks it owns the entire tank, even though it is the smallest fish.
