Guess I should have asked this first...BUT Do Raccoon butterflies eat MUSHROOMS????
I just put a green ricordea in my tank and the raccoon went after it....Now I have to try to find it and move it to my other tank.

That Butterfly as you can see is gonna make a nice snack out of that Ric. Like Angels they can be a hit or miss in a reef.

Well I can't find the ricordea now....I am guessing the butterfly knocked it off the rock...if and when it turns up I will move it.

Chaetodon lunula is one the least likely fish to go well in a reef tank - they'll eat just about everything - even the more powerful stinging anemones.

So does this include hard corals like candy cane???? I think I may have to find this guy a new home
I also just got a bta and my candy can frag....man the closest fish store is over 90 miles away and I probably won't be able to get there for a week or so (holidays and all)

Yep, they'll eat most anything. Definitely get rid of him if you want corals and such. Do you have a sump to put him in? Or eggcrate to seperate the fish from the corals?
