Other Options For The Harlequin Tusk Fish

I do not think that the HT will be reef safe due to the inverts and being a massive brute when older, any other fish you would suggest like this or cooler? Or can I just keep this? 180 Gallon Reef BTW.

All fish have their own personality but Tusks are known to be very aggressive.
If your looking for a similar fish IMO goatfish have a similar body structure and clownfish have a similar pattern but don't get to the same size. Its up to you if you want to keep it but it may get aggressive

Thanks! I plan on getting Orange Blood Clownfish. Anything on Blue Throat Triggerfish? I am pretty sure HT and Trigger get to same size?

I don't know enough about Triggers to advise sorry

Ok thanks, are Goatfish Reef safe? I am pretty sure they could eat smaller fish and inverts. Or is that not true?
