green chromis

green chromis are reef safe right?

I read a thread here somewhere and If I understood him correctly he was having a chromis nip at sps corals?

But I thought they were harmless

anyone else know about these?

harmless as far as I know..though there is the famous SPS forum thread about some damsel/chromis species eating redbugs off of acros..could that be what you are thinking of?

Cheers,

I have two green chromis that were nipping the heck out of a scolymia. The chromis are about 2-3 inches. Going to take them out. Never knew they were nippers
