UV Sterilizers..Do I need one?

UV Sterilizer. Can I use one with mostly a coral reef tank? Would I be destroying certain things that other inhabitants may need to survive?

Thanks..

UV's tend to give people a false sense of security. In my opinion, you would be better of investing that money into a good quarantine setup.
