Butterflies & Gorgonians

[Starlit_]

Will any of the Chaetodon, Forcipiger, Chelmon, Coradion, Amphichaetodon, Chelmonops, Hemitaurichthys, Heniochus, Johnrandallia, Parachaetodon, Prognathodes, or Roa consume or eat gorgonians? Also anemones, zoanthids, ricordeas or softies.

Yes most all the butterflies you named will eat most any coral. Roa species are the safest followed by some chaetodon

I have kept forcipiger, chelmon, and hemitauricthys butterflies with gorgonians without incident. YMMV.
