    Cherubs can be bullies IMO. Little big man theory in full effect ;)

    I read that about them.

    Hey Gresham - THANKS FOR THE CORAL BEAUTY!!  8) 8) 8)

    It was a little shy at first, but now it's doing great and eating food.

    So far it's awesome, nipped a branch of Montipora Digitata once, but it has since recovered and I haven't seen it touch anything else since that one time. It swims around the corals and picks at the rocks. Very pretty fish. Thanks again G!  You rock. 8) [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

    I'll keep everyone posted on its behavior.

    I've had them nip LPS, but never SPS. I had one with my clam, it never looked @ it cross eyed.

    I've heard both good and bad about dwarves/pymies. Evaluate on an individual basis I guess.

    As far as what Craig? What criteria am I judging them by, reef safe, aggressiveness or what?

    Most aggressive would be:
    Cherub
    Flame, Coral Beauty, Eibli, Half Black, Keyhole, Bicolor all tie for second

    Reefsafe:
    Cherub
    Coral Beauty
    Flame
    all the rest (not really too reef safe)

    I'm leaving out the hard to keeps, Venustas and the likes. Many of the hard to keeps are very reef safe, but are handled so poorly, I can't recommend them.

    I don't personally like Cherubs. I forgot Flameback. It would be second on both lists IMO.
