Reef safe fish are species that do not harm corals, anemones, or ornamental invertebrates. These fish are ideal for reef aquariums because they won’t nip at coral polyps, knock over rock structures, or prey on cleanup crew members. Most are peaceful and community-friendly, making them a reliable choice for mixed reef tanks.
Popular reef safe fish include gobies, blennies, wrasses, anthias, tangs, and certain angelfish. While labeled “reef safe,” some species may become territorial or aggressive if space is limited or if similar-shaped fish are added later. Always research compatibility and tank size before adding new fish.
