Need your guy's thoughts about these? How aggresive are they? Can they be fragged? How big do they get?

they are aggresive in the fact if they are near another coral they will sting it especially at night when there tenticles come out of the middle serching for food. fragging of these is not easy by comparison of an acro or leather. i have one and prob never frag it.

Brain Coral, Trachyphyllia; is this what you are saying would be eaten by your Emperor? Is the Emperor not reef safe?

Reef safe sorta depending on the corals you have. Each Angel is different as to what corals they like. I have mainly SPS which so far the Emperor does not like.

It is a crap shoot if it will be reef safe or not. I myself would not try it. Knowing me if I did it would go right to the Acan Lord Colonies and have a feast. As for the trachy I love them, once of my favorite corals. They have short singing tenticles about 1/2" in length. I keep all of mine on the sand bed with room around it. The external flesh can touch cynaria or pretty much anything that wont sting it.
