just curious if i should be worried about this guy.

could i use the small refuge area of my sump for some coral frags? would there be any negative side effects to doing this? the center section of my sump will just be full of liverock rubble and maybe some cheato. i was going to build a small eggcrate rack to use as a small coral propogation...
