I have been keeping SPS for awhile, but have decided to go to an all Zoa/Ric tank. In doing this I am assuming I can now keep some fish that I once could not. My question is what fish are known Zoa eaters? I am thinking of a Puffer which I know eats a lot of corals and an Emperor Angel. Are these fish ok, and if not what other fish do I need to stay away from? Thanks in advance!

Ok, so why are they wrong? Saying they are wrong is one thing, giving a reason to help me understand and educate myself is another.

They're both really unpredictable fish. Emperor's nibble on EVERYTHING.

Ok, I can live with unpredictsable because that means they may or may not eat the Zoas. Is there any fish that are known Zoa eaters? I hear Rabbit fish are, is this true?

Many of the angels will eat zoas - and can decimate a nice colony of zoas in a very short time
