I know they all eat aptasia. So which one in your opinions is more Reef Safe?
I am needing to know as I will be making a purchase at the beginning of next week.

I'll just about garauntee the racoon wont be reef safe. the copperband is the best bet but delicate compared to the racoon.

i dont know from experience but from what I have read a lot of people have had success with copperbands in reefs but they are a harder to fish to care for.

What are yalls thoughts on the Pakistan Butterfly. I have been told that all of these fish that I have listed could be reef safe just as in Dwarf Angels.
Also what about heniochus diphreutes? Where can you find these to purchase.

there is no such thing as a reef safe butterfly that would eat an aptasia and wont eat an anenome that we want to keep just because we feel they look pretty. as stated above unless its hosted your lta will be picked at and probably eaten or die from the stress.
