180 Fish only

[Asl4all]

I've set up a 180G. Currently just started cycling today. My wife is wanting a fish only since I have another reef setup going 2 years. Now back to the 180G fish only, I'm wondering if there are any softies, LPS, or SPS that can be safe in a fish-only setup? My wife wants mostly angels, triggers, and no predators as she can't stand them. I personally know it's impossible but your replies will help me show the wife it can or can't be done. Maybe I'll learn something.

Lots to choose from in many colors.

thanks but not going to go with artificial stuff. Had a few artificial decors way back and they eventually fade out. I'd rather stick with what's natural if I can.

I’m dying to try out some leathers and other softies in this FOWLER— I wouldn’t even care if it was some run-wild Pulsing Xenia— but from all I can tell I would just be feeding this Emperor Angel tasty coral snacks. Same in my other FOWLER that houses a French Angel.

Please do keep me posted. I did think of pulsing xenia, the Kenya tree, and the rest of the fast-growing/overtaking softies. If it provides a healthy diet for the fishes, I'm ok with it.

To me the dilemma is, the bigger the leather, the better chance it might be ignored and not snacked on. But for an "experiment," a small bite-size plug piece would be the low-cost option. So it's a Catch-22.
