I'm setting up a 90 gallon with live rock. Really wany a reef with soft corals and fish. The problem is, all the fish I want are not reef safe. What I would like to know is has anyone had any luck with puffers, triggers, foxface, lionfish, in a reef tank with soft corals?

i've kept a lionfish with my soft and stony corals as far as the rest i don't know

Puffers are very toxic fish and munch on your clean up crew if they dont eat your corals.
Foxface are venomous and very aggressive.
Triggers would probably be the way to go. Carefulthough not all are reef safe. Try a blue chin or a picasso or a niger, Ive seen them all in a reef environment. Stay away from the clowntrigger it is an ick magnet and very aggressive.
Lionfish are also venomous and aggressive fish eaters.

Try a wrass or a Tang even dwarf angels are good in reefs if you get them young and give plenty of other feeding options.

Foxfaces are venomous, but they are a shy fish, not aggressive and most people consider them reef safe. I have had a couple and they never touched a coral. They also do a great job at controlling algae.

I also have a foxface and he leaves my other fish alone and my polyps. Cadllak when you say you feed them a lot how often is that?

I think you should be ok with a foxface and soft coral
and there are some puffers and triggers that you might be able to get away with but there will still be a risk

[cadllak]

I feed them pretty big krill like 4 or 5 times a day

Feed Feed and Feed. You need to feed them good. And you will not have any issues.

I too have a fox face but he seems to peck at my GSP and brain coral.
