Butterflies' Tolerance on Cupramine

I've just ordered some fish. Some of them are very delicate and I've heard that they don't cope well with cupramine.

Here is a list:
Red Sea Golden BF x2
Moorish Idol
Painted Fairy Wrasse
Auriga BF
Raccoon BF
Copperband BF

I've heard that butterflies don't do well in copper treatment. I also have a terrible record on cupramine treatment. But there is a chance that during QT ich can pop out. So I'm wondering how other people treat their butterflies/moorish idol with copper. Please look at the list and let me know if any one is very intolerant with copper. Oh the QT is 40g.

Thanks!
 
I'd do Chloroquin Phosphate (New life spectrum: Ick Shield Powder) before cupramine. However, the wrasse might not survive it(Some wrasse can't handle it).. could do TTM on just the wrasse and treat CP on the rest. In my experience CP isn't exactly easy on the fish, but seems much safer than cupramine.
