I saw two heniochus butterflyfish at the store the other day, wondering if they are reef safe and wont bite at my Xenia....any other information such as maximum size, eating habbits, and any other info would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Hi there!
Good to see someone from my neck of the woods.
What store were you in looking at the Heniocus?
In my personal opinion, I would have to say that all of the tanks listed in your profile are too small for a Heniocus. They need a lot of space and if you have any fish that are aggressive........they will eat the banner fin off of the Heniocus.
By the way:

well in my 75 and 29 gal. i have agressive fish, but in the 55 (reef) i have two clowns, two blue chromis, and one yellow tang (i would take the tang out if i got the heniochus). And i was looking at the heniochus at Just About Fish in Harpers Point, which in my opinion is the best saltwater store in the city. The number is 247-0600 if you wana contact them.
