    I have my eye on a pyramide (Hemitaurichthys Polyepis) and a Zoster(Hemitaurichthys Zoster) my LFS assures me they both are reef safe she showed pictures of local reefers (tanks) with one or the other swiming amongst corals mostly softies.

    the pyramid is considered reef safe-not sure on the zoster but i would suspect it is as well.
