I guess they are hit or miss. My spotted sharpnose doesn’t touch corals. I think sometimes they can though...... Valintini is ok too I think

Has anyone suggested firefish? I happen to add three from my last order to reach the free shipping limit. They are rather inexpensive, I thought, so I bought three. They hid the first day but when they got comfortable, they were always out, swimming together. I have grown to like them. They do not hide when I approach the tank like my other fish do. Thinking of getting more.

My firefish hides most of the time and only comes out to feed. Sometimes I won't see him for a couple of days, and I've feared he was dead. But he always shows up eventually. He wasn't always this way, but I think my 6 Line has begun bullying him.
As for the 6 Line, he is always active, swimming in and out of the crevices in my rocks. But he's still a juvenile, and I know he may become a problem at some point. I hope not, as he's one of my favorites to watch.
My Royal Gramma is pretty active too. He hangs out in a cave some, but he's usually swimming about or poking into any hole he can fit into.
Along with my clowns, my blue chromis is always out and about. My bangai too, but as noted, they don't do much. As for being nocturnal, I always find mine nestled into a hole in the middle of the night.

Not a fan of firefish either or dartfish for the most part as they tend to be very skittish and timid and are an easy target for more assertive fish. I'd recommend Basslets (ie Royal Gramma) over Firefish any day of the week.
