SRC Member Elune Posted March 15, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hi ppl, i read that butterfly fishes are not reef safe, as they will eat corals and invertebrates. with regards to invertebrates, will butterfly fishes eat cleaner shrimps, sea cucumbers, starfish and turbo snails?

SRC Member Copperband Posted March 15, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted March 15, 2006 Some reefers here have a copperband butterfly fish in his sps tank with no problems.... ITs a matter of luck and depending on the individual fish ... sometimes if u sway sway get those fish that eat corals ....... sometimes you will get those who will never touch corals..... Generally the 'safer' butterflyfish is chelmon rostratus (copperband butterflyfish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
