Butterly in softy tank?

[h20 freak1]

Are there any butterfly fish known to only bother hard corals and leave softys/shrooms/zoos alone? I had a heniochus back when my tank was FOWLR and I loved him, when he died from a heater malfunction I almost left the hobby, well thats another story. Anyway, is there a softy safe b-fly? They really are beautiful,

Thank you.

My C.declivis doesn't touch anything in my mixed reef, but took care of all aiptasia (a loss I can live with):dance:

I have had good luck with Lemon, Kliens, and Longnose butterflys with the corals you are describing

Yellow pyramid will work for sure.

I've had a longnose for many years in my mixed reef. He's never bothered anything other than a rare peck at an unwary snail.

Howerever, I haven't seen a feather duster in my tank for many years either, which may or may not be a coincidence.

Oh, forgot about my feather duster, oh well I would be willing to sacrifice him for a longnose.

No problem with pyramid and feather duster.
