I think it's pretty safe to say the worms are on the menu (if not bear the top) for most butterflies. Good luck!This is a great thread! I was searching for a possible natural predator for majano anemones and chanced upon this thread. It appears saddleback and burgess are known to eat majanos. My LFS happen to have a pair of saddleback and I bought 1 immediately. Now it is in my reef.
However, as usual, the post-purchase anxiety set in... I read here that it doesn't really go for healthy corals so I am ready to take a bet on that. My system is mainly SPS, with some LPS such as sun coral, hammer, duncan, goniopora and chalice. I also have some gorgonian, zoas, mushrooms (which I don't mind some trimming). But my main concern now is I have a rock of Christmas Tree Worms, which is my most treasured piece of inhabitant.
Can anyone advise me what is the likelihood of saddleback eating up my coral and invertebrates, especially the Christmas Tree Worms?
In addition, would a Burgess be a safer alternative?
Thanks in advance.

Fortunately, my Christmas Tree worms are safe from the menu so far. But unfortunately, the saddleback didn't make it. It just died 3 days ago. Possibly due to aggression from other fishes such as the tangs and centropyge. It was feeding on the mysis and the other feather worms in my tank though.I think it's pretty safe to say the worms are on the menu (if not bear the top) for most butterflies. Good luck!

I like the angle of this shot. Looks very 3D, shows depth, etc. Very well done.
Another thread ruined by photobucket.
