Nem and Coral Compatibility

[Ian Baxter]

I currently have a 32 biocube that has been running for 3 years. I recently purchased an Inferno Nem and I just put water in my new 65g build. I would like to purchase more corals to go into the new tank, but I am curious what corals are most "safe". I know the nem can move and I would not put any new coral in until he finds his spot. I currently have a large rock covered in zoa's and on my frag rack I have a 4 head Dragon Soul torch, a monti cap, and a two head frogspawn.

No corals are "nem safe" as far as I know, a nem sting will overpower any coral. Just have to let the nem find it's happy place and keep corals out of its way.

I guess I'm curious what other people have kept with their nems.

I've kept various LPS, xenia, GSP with nems no problem. Unless your tank is super tiny, you can "help" them avoid each other by moving corals. I'd just avoid gluing anything in the general vicinity of the nem.

I think that's what I'll try to do. Thanks!
