Fowlr or reef. I have been reading a lot about people keeping them in reef. I have had issues with cb over a few months. thinking about a feeding station only the butterfly can get

I would say as far as behavior goes they're about the same as CB's, reef safe with a little caution. They'll eat feather dusters, may bother stuff like acans and zoanthids are a slim possibility. What issues are you having with the CB?

They're not as commonly available but the ones from Australia tend to be Hardier. Not that Australia has magic fish but their collection/ shipping practices are much better. The Indo ones are cheaper and more commonly available but have a poor survival rate. HTH.

One of my favorite fish too. I have tried 3 first 2 hardly ate. the third ate like a pig and I honestly grew attached to it. It was like a puppy begging for food. whenever I opened the canopy he would be waiting to eat out of my hand. I thought I finally had a winner. IDK what happened. I keep anthias just fine and feed a few times a day with a lot of variety.
