Add Pyramid Butterfly ?.

[skip0211]

Trying to decide which fish to add next. My 265 gal reef currently has a large Moorish Idol, male Bartlett, Percula Clown and a Fiji Regal. Want to keep the tank calm and a continuing peaceful home for the Regal and Idol. The Pyramid seems like a good choice on paper... Any other fish suggestions? Tank is SPS only at this time and will probably stay that way.

Thanks in advance for any input and suggestions,

I like Pyramids in trios myself, get three.

The pyramid butterfly looks great in a group setting. I just received 5 (2.75-3.25") this past Tuesday but one was skinny, labored during acclimation and found it dead the next morning. One other one is still hiding a bit but comes out during feeding. So far all 4 are eating flakes and small pieces of frozen but haven't seen them touch mysis yet.

From all the various reading it's highly recommended to QT before putting into display. This will allow you to treat for ich or flukes which for sure I will need to treat with prazi and more importantly given how shy these fish are initially this will help acclimating to prepared food. Need to feed multiple times a day.

Here's a good piece for reading:
