Anyone have any experience with these? SPS/clam safe? Most of what I read indicate this is very reef safe...

Cool looking fish... Sounds about as reef safe as an angel gets.

Females and males are pretty dramatically different too...

They have a male under more images here:

Genicanthus lamarck is similar too and IMO both are very reef safe.

keep them well fed, i think that's the key to keep them away from your corals buffet.

I think they're more planktavores... you know I feed heavy :)

Unlike the majority of nature and humans... The female is actually the nicer looking of the two in my opinion... ;)
