That's the thing... they're are a couple of coral beauties that I've been looking at, at my LFS.... but I'm worried about him taking it out on my corals.....
Well let me ask you this.... could a coral beauty do any REAL damage to corals??? My biggest concern is my goniopara that is still alive... and also my mushrooms and zoos...
I had a cb in with some soft corals, never had a problem with him. This doesn't mean that a different fish won't have a different view on what's food and what's not. They are a great fish, just keep an eye on him for a while after he's introduced.
Hard to say. IME health-wise younger fish tend to be hardier than adult fish which have fully adapted to their envirnment before being plucked out and placed in mine. So as a rule I buy the youngest fish I can find. This could also help in this case, if they've never seen corals as food. But again, with any live animal we can only generalize about it's potential behavior.
