depends on which longnose butterfly you want to get. there are two that look almost exactly the same. one is the yellow longnose which has a shorter snout and no speckles on it's belly where the white part is(kinda under the eyes) and the big longnose butterfly which has a longer snout and has speckles on the white part of the belly. the yellow long nose actually typically leaves corals alone but has been seen picking on the polyps of soft and stony corals. will also eat tube worms and sea urchins feet. the big longnose is reef safe but sometimes harder to feed cause it has a smaller mouth but this is the more common of the two seen in the fish stores.
