Recommended Posts

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?

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)
