Anyone have luck keeping butterflys in their reef tank?
by luck I mean the fish not picking at your corals.
what variety would you recommend, if any? (beside copperband) I have 180 gal with hippo,sailfin,anthias,coral beauty,singapore angel, midas blenny, bi-color blenny,goby,pink chromi, they are all 3-4 inches or less.
thanks, Matt

ive heard the copperbanded butterfly is one that could be kept and is also beneficial for the removal of aiptasia - however, my inlaws had one, didnt bother to research it, resulting in its death. They have very specific needs/requirements with regards to husbandry and diet - i would research those to elements and see if you can provide a butterfly what it needs.
