Nigers are not, Bluethroats can be, but do obviously have a chance to nip at corals. It's very similar to those who keep angels in a reef

Ah makes sense, beautiful fish I guess I’ll just have to see all the fish have different personalities as well lol thanks

Some people can have some luck with them, and others may not. It will all depend on the individual fish

Ok, he does sometimes fight With my blue Hippo tang had him for a week now, kinda worrisome considering it’s an 180 gallon tank and not many fish in the tank.
