    i purchased 4 coral cats for my 65 gallon reef. they are roughly 3 inchs each. after introducing them to my aquarium, i found out they were aggressive? as well as tendency of eating crabs and snails? any facts would be great. i also know they are venomous

    I've seen coral cats before at my LFS (surprisingly). I never really looked into them, though they do look pretty cool.

    thanks for the link, ill see how its goes for the next week, making sure they dont snack on my small gobies, and crabs/snails. how aggressive could they possibly be at 2-3 inches big?

    How aggressive can a baby Tasmanian Devil be?

    Depends. What if it got hit in the head and became a nice friendly tasmanian devil?

    Oh. They only get to a foot long. And do best in schools. And they're venomous. And put them right in the DT with no QT? ;D
