    hmmm very odd. my book "Marine Fish" says they r but will eat small fish, shrimps and other motile inverts...but harmless to coral :)


    Edit: Careful, very predatory, will make short work of any small fishes...

    They are fine if you only have sps and noxious softies.....small fish and inverts will make nice morsals when the get hungry.

    Semi fine like Nick said. They get fairly large, love to knock stuff over and will consume any small fish/mobile invert/mollusks that presents itself to them.
