How reef safe are Quoyi Parrotfish?

[Breakthecycle2]

Just curious?

Pretty safe, there may be some accidental biting or some mistaken identity, but usually pretty good.

Thanks. Now I need to find one. I missed my chance twice last week on DD.

Will they pick on sps or lps corals, I have heard that they won't touch softies, but they will eat other corals

Or is that just assumed for all parrotfish and that one is an exception

The quoyi I have experience with didn't touch anything, SPS, LPS, or softies.

I have had a princess in the past and it was pretty safe too.

Okay might get one then, they are so cool, will they bother my clean up crew though?

I can't speak for cuc, but they are herbivores, so I would think they would be safe.

OK. I found one. I missed, yet another one on DD. Thanks @eatbreakfast
