devaji108 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Ok so lets talk all about macro safe fish. macro safe meaning they will not eat macros, just like reef safe meaning they will not eat corals. so let make a list of: ~the safe ~the safe with caution ~and the nope dont do if you like your plants along with clean up crews. hopefully this can be a resource for us all. GO.. Link to comment
Droy008 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Well I'll start with what I know this far. Macro safe fish: Clowns (False Perc) Firefish Royal Gramma Watchman Gobies The Clean up crew is much harder because we often times target critters specifically because they consume some portion of algae. But from my experience. Macro safe CUC: Porcelain crabs Blue leg Hermit crabs Nerites Snails Dwarf Cerith Snails Looking forward to others' findings! Link to comment
devaji108 Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 nice list.. from what I understand gonna sound silly but carnivore fish. they rest are a bit tricky as they like a lil algae in there menu. clown gobies most wrasses fog fish scorpion the prob. I am running in to is most carnivore fish are fairly large. Link to comment
Ibuyen Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Great ideas also have no go list for stuff too like certain hermits, urchins, tangs, etc Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 NO mexican turbo snails. They will eat pretty much any algae in my experience. NO urchins. Same as above. YES: those little nano conchs that some are selling on here. I have a bunch and they don't eat the macros but they do a good job on film algae and stuff! Link to comment

devaji108 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 I am wondering about Hector's Goby and sexy shrimp? I think both will be fine.. L.A says hectors goby will eat HA so it might take to some macros? what all think? Link to comment
Han Solo Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I have a sea hare and lawn mower blenny on my tank right now for a GHA problem I just battled, do you think these are bad to keep with all the macroalgae in my tank? Link to comment
Tamberav Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I am wondering about Hector's Goby and sexy shrimp? I think both will be fine.. L.A says hectors goby will eat HA so it might take to some macros? what all think? My court jester picked at macro, the soft stuff like rose peddle and ulva, did not touch the denser stuff. He was eating pods off it but he was also visibly taking tiny bites out of the edges. They are tiny fish though, so even though he ate it, it wasn't a problem. Here is a video of the one I had: Link to comment
