Will a Copperband Butterfly eat zoos?

[jfingers088]

I have a good colony of zoos on a rock but i noticed that there are 3 aptasias growing in between the zoos. So my LFS told me to bring it in and they would put them in a tank where they have a Copperband butterfly to get rid of the aptasias but im afraid they it would eat my zoos also. Does anyone think that the butterfly would harm the zoos?

Of course nothing would ever be a guarantee but from all of the research I have done I would say the copperband would not eat your zoos. I had one and he did not go after any kinds of corals. In fact, he was kind of particular about what kind of aptaisia he would eat. He would only eat the real small ones.
Hope that helps.
