Reef safe species
126 species that count as reef safe: they leave corals and invertebrates alone. Species that usually behave but are known for incidents are deliberately left out; you will find those under “caution” in the species browser.
Values are mainstream hobbyist guidance, not gospel. Always watch what your own animals need.
