copperband butterfly

[kdirk]

Do you think this fish is reef safe?

 

[TCU Reefer]

Yes, but it may pick at some LPS and clams.

 

[kdirk]

Do you think it would pick at polyps?

 

[thor32766]

i have never heard of one picking at polyps. Mine had never touched them. Great fish by the way!

 

[tangreef68]

it is that its the most reef safe of the butterflyfish.

 

[pheel]

sadly the problem with this fish is not if it is reef safe, the problem is if he is going to live...

but to answer your question, I would say safe

 

[seriousreefer91]

can i house one in a 20 gallon nano?

 

[Sk8r]

Seriousreefer, I'd worry. They get about palm-sized, don't they?

When people say: nip---what in people's experience have they actually taken after more than once? What do they eat?

Was it a copperbanded someone photographed with his nose clamped-on by a clam?

 

[pheel]

They suddenly without apparent reason in large tank 90G+, 20G is way undersize.

The one I had did not touch any zoos, leather and LPS
