    All 10 of my fish, my hermits, urchin, and cleaner shrimp seem to all be reef safe- in their captive reef anyways- my DT.

    I once had a CC sea star that ate alot of my GSP all at once when it was very young.
    I banished him to my sump, then gave him away.

    3 different clowns, 2 diff. tangs, 3 diff. Dwarf angels, a cardinal, a blue spotted banded goby, and a strawberry basslet

    ok, now I can comment except I'm not familiar enough with the chromis you've listed. As people have said, it is going to depend on the individuals to a certain degree. What you have listed should be reef safe, the urchins will eat coralline as long as you're ok with that.....keeping the fish well fed and healthy will go a long way to assuring that they don't start to nip at corals. I think you should be fine with that list. You could always get a rogue fish that acts unlike its species but for most part IMO you should be fine with your list.

    Nothing comes to mind but as said keep them well fed and there's a strong chance they won't eat anything. Also I can tell your very paranoid. Just calm down and don't worry, take chances It's a huge part of this hobby.
