Auriga Butterflyfish experiences

I am going to be starting a 55 gallon with LR and LS. I am not planning on any corals. I am going to start with percula clowns. I was wondering if the Auriga is an easy fish to care for? Also what other fish would go with this one well.

Easy for a butterfly, but not easy. Definitely not something that should be put into a tank until the tank itself is mature (that means 6 months to a year). They also can reach 9 inches. Butterflies in general require excellent conditions and peaceful tankmates.
Once the tank is mature, it should get along with the percs.
For other selections, look at a gramma or some basslets. Very colorful and generally peaceful fish.
