Coral beauty ok?

I have a 90g sps tank that has been up for a year.
I run a ER rs135 with a 30g sump.refug... phosphate reactor..

Anyways I havent added fish really since the beggining of my tank.

I currently have a
Sailfin tang
Lavender tang
4 green reef chromis
bicolor psuedo
green mandarin
GSM

All fish are very fat and healthy and never have had any problems.

I wanted to add a coral beauty or some type of dawrf angel for my last fish instead of some anthias.

I know its alwasy hit or miss with them.. but im just makin sure a coral beauty would be fine with all the other fish i have..

any comments would be great

The CB will be fine with your other fish. Just be careful with the SPS and watch it carefully. Good luck.

I had a coral beauty in my 55 gal for a couple of years. Great fish and he got along with all his tankmates and never nibbled a coral. I recently upgraded to a 75 gal and exchanged the coral beauty for a flame...If you want color, there is no comparison. I would recommend a small piece of nori daily to lessen the chances of nibbling on corals.

I do not have personal experience with a CB but I do have a flame Angel that is ok with all sps but will occasionally nip at LPS and my clam

I really love my CB. It has been fine with clams, SPS, LPS, zoos, and all fish. It gives every one the once over when they are new but eventually accepts all new comers. They are unrelenting grazers and in that activity will "pick" off any surface that might yield a morsel. Just the other day my CB grabed hold of a suction thingy on one of my huge brittle stars, he he , don't know who was more freeked out. I've never seen any damage to any inverts.
