Butterflys SPS safe???

[reefrubble]

What butterflys are reef safe,if any?

Copper banded butterfly is reef safe.

I have a Tinkerii that is supposed to be SPS safe. I caught her the other day nipping though.

IMO best to leave the butterflies out of a reef.

I have a copperband, so far so good, I had a saddleback in a softy tank and it was fine

I am not sure about other species of butterflies, but my CCB has been a model citizen when it comes to corals.

But mine does on occasion pick on snails..

pyramid butterfly's are sps safe, provided you feed enough

C. miliaris is also pretty safe. Of course, it also depends what you are keeping in your reef. With sps only (no clams, zoos, softies, lps...) a C. xanthurus is also a quite safe bet. Drawback might be some picking, but this isn't too serious, just compare it to a nippy dwarf angel.
