Yes, the Orangetail Damsel is considered reef safe but can be a threat to smaller, more timid fish.
Environment
The Orangetail Damsel prefers a well-decorated aquarium with plenty of hiding places. It appreciates a moderate to strong water flow and will thrive in a tank with a stable temperature and salinity.

This fish is always swimming around and I haven’t had any issues with it being aggressive. It is in a 125 gallon so idk if that’s what helps with its temperament but it has been a model citizen fish.
