Small novarchus in a sps reef or sorties?

[kevensquint]

I can put a small navarchus , a fish that I've always wanted in either an sps tank or softies tank. IYE, which tank will have less nipping damage?

What kind of softies? Leathers are fine but zoas could be a snack.

 

[kevensquint]

Xenia, mushrooms and a frogspawn (lps)

I think the angel should be fine with all of those corals, and SPS as well. I’ve had three different individuals in mixed reefs over the years, I avoid zoas and certain LPS (acans, brains, etc) and never had a problem with any of them.

They are always regarded as reef caution. Kenyi tree and Shrooms are safe, whereas zoas and xenia are not. Although similar to zoa, Palys may do ok.
