Is a scat reef safe?, specificaly softies and shrimp and small fish. i have one that i have had for 6 years in marine conditions and due to his loss of an eye due to an injury and his bostorus tank mates i would like to move him to my more peacefull reef(softy)

Scats, for the most part, are going to be reef safe. They will not bother most corals or inverts. They do a great job at eating aiptasia so things like that nature might be picked on. They also do a number on any tube worms found in the rock. They are great algae grazers as well.

thanks aquareeferman good to know and since i dont have anything that resembles aptasia in any way and the only worms i know of in the tank are bristle worms and if he eats a few of them (lots a fews of them) thats ok they will keep thier effective cleaning population up enough the way those things breed

Yeah they are interesting fish. Ive had a Green one in the past in my softie reef with a green spotted puffer.

mine has never shown any intrest in any fish, always eats like a pig and i do have 3 of the green spotted puffers as well in my 7 * 2 fowlr tank and you sure can tell by their colors what mood they are in

I had a 300g tank full of palm-sized greens and yellows with a big bichir, that topped the max size given in F&S, and absolutely loved that tank. Tubifex worms were their favorite. The ONLY problem is going to be their waste output.

Very true. Good Skimmer and weekly water changes.
