cherub pygmy angels and lps?
im thinking about getting a cherib pygmy angelfish but id also like to get some LPS corals and softees down the road
anyone have cherubs with lps and things are ok?
i have a coral beauty in my other tank with lps and softees and she behaves herself with the corals
are cherubs and coral beauty's similiar? or is there more of a chance the cherub will be more harmful?

Mine picked on everything, across the rock, across an acro, across a brain. It didn't try and eat any of it, it just picked at everything.

It's hit or miss, Pastina. Also, things may be fine for years and then all of a sudden he may develop an appetite for one of your cherished corals.
They are cuties, though!!

No, the corals did not die, and they did not have any damage, but they wern't especially happy about it.

That is probably why your Gorgonian isn't extending polyps.

Fwiw, I have a flameback angel, which is similar to a cherub, and he doesn't pick much at the nori.
