Copperband Butterfly for reef tank?

[gdamador]

I am considering adding a copperband butterfly for my 80G reef tank. I have read that they are 50/50 and should be monitored to see if they will get along with everyone especially the corals. I think they are very beautiful and would really like one. But what experiences or opinions do you'all have?

I think 50/50 is a stretch for a reef...copperband butterflys have a tendacy to damage corals which in my eye makes them unlikely reef friends. I wouldn't try one in my reef...risk is simply too high.

I had one many many years ago, and the do like feather dusters for dinner.
