I've had several in the past and one in my tank now. I've never had one eat any SPS, LPS or Clams; and I have all of them. They are grazers though, so don't panic when you see them occasionally pick at any of them. They aren't eating them. :-)

I currently have a pair. No corals but, just an FYI, they can be major jerks. Love mine, but they are little snots.

Mine tries to be too. LOL. My Watanabei puts him in his place. I have a White Tail Bristletooth Tang that was smaller than the cherub initially. Now the tang is larger...and the boss. LOL.

I have softies lps nems and only a monticap for sps. My pygmy doesn't bother anything. I would love a clam but haven't tried my hand at one solely because of him.

Mine isn't a jerk if anything he is the bouncer of the tank and will break up fights.

They can adapt to pretty much any daily feeding schedule. Having established live rock helps a lot as they are pretty active grazers.
