I keep a pearlscale butterfly in my reef works wonderful for aipasia .we decided to get another type of butterfly for my refuge to control aiptasia so we went with a threadfin.oii was that a booboo.I had 10 frags of purple xania growing in the fuge and a few aiptasia well unfortunatly it liked the xanias more it ate all my xania frags before it would eat the aiptasia.most butterfly species are NOT reef safe
