blueface and queen will be ok in your sps tank.

becareful of the golden butterfly. it will really nip on the SPS. not as damaging as the coral eating butterfly species but it will nip and nip. if too damaging, trap and remove. there are many safer butterfly species with SPS you can try next time.

Your SPS growth exceed their consumption la. Just like in the wild.

But zoas more dangerous in your tank. How about i adopt all your zoas collection. When u free, then just come and view!!!!

they are not sps eaters in the wild, but they will nip. butterflies are itchy mouths and golden butterfly will def do more damage than queen. u can try, but remove when u feel that its too stressful for your coral.

in general, avoid all butterflies from the genus Chaetodon. There are some exceptions. these are the butterflies that can be kept with SPS without much problems.

Chaetodon tinkeri, declivis, mitratus, burgess are all ok. these are deep water butterflies from the subgenus (roaps) that will not nip on corals as much, especially SPS. safe to keep.

Chaetodon assarius, guentheri, nippon are also ok. these are more planktivorous butterfly and feed in water column, and not so much on corals and rocks.

longnose, copperband, marginalis, pyramid butterflies, and all species not from chaetodon genus are best with SPS. Prognathodes butterflies are also excellent.

sorry if the scientific names are a little tedious. many of them don't have common names and it makes it more confusing. just do a google search. i love butterflies and always love keeping some in reef tanks. there are many that are suitable.
