I want a new pet but my parents say no!?

About a year ago I started thinking about getting a pet rat. So first I bought sea monkeys and hermit crabs to make sure that I could manage a smaller pet, before jumping in and getting a rat. I took care of those guys fine, and I have finally presented my parents with the idea. I have full confidence that I can take care of the rat, and have researched a ton. My parents think that I would be a good rat owner, but they can’t stand the idea of me cleaning a cage. Isn’t is stupid that they don’t have another reason? I mean, it’s ME cleaning the cage, not them. How can I expess this to my parents, and do you agree that I should get one? Thanks!
as, yes, what a lovely reply?!?
ignore the first detail, lol!

Invertebrate eaters?

Will any of these fishes try eat a blood red fire shrimp, hermit crabs, star fish, or clams?

Magnificent Foxface
Copperband Butterflyfish
Raccoon Butterflyfish
Teardrop Butterflyfish
Falcula Butterflyfish
Golden Semilarvatus Butterflyfish
Blue/Green Reef Chromis
Ocellaris Clownfish
Green Mandarin Goby
Spotted Mandarin Goby
Yellow Tang
Blue Hippo Tang
Six Line Wrasse
Longfin Fairy Wrasse

I know the butterflys will try to eat the corals so doing a reef tank will be out of the question. Really want to do a reef tank but can’t have the butterfly eating at my money through corals. Also are all these fishes compatible with each other…I’m planning on having at least a 200 gallon setup.
Are there any corals that I may be able to have in the tank despite the butterflys?
