What you should do is loose the butterfly and the horseshoe.Neither belong in a reef tank,And will cause problems.That is if a reef tank is what you want.Then your bio load will be in better shape...No more new fish till you decide what kind of tank you want.Reef tank(corals and one or two small fish) Aggressive tank(puffers triggers eels) or fish only(peacfull comunity fish).It seems you have a dangerous mix of all three going on in your small tank.The horseshoe will dig under the rock,knocking it down.The butterfly WILL eat your corals.The puffer requires food that will cause poor water quality.And puffers and anemones dont mix.Puffers are very poor swimmers,and will eventually be a snack for the anemone.

i definitely will not get rid of my butterfly it has cause no problems it is almost full grown i got rid of all ick too!!! it also hasnt nipped at nething in the tank as for at live rock or inverts and i know the horseshoe is able to get big but most of the time their life span is only 6 mnths to 1 year in a tank isnt it, but the only fish i am cautious about is the puffer but it hasnt cased ne problems
