Copperband Butterfly?

[AtlanticBlue]

Just wondering what some of the drawbacks and advantages are of keeping an CBB in a reef tank - besides feeding. Are there any risks as far as nipping at SPS and clams? I see a lot of people with one in their tank...and I would like to keep one in case aptasia ever became an issue. (Had an outbreak a few months back due to friendly trading of corals/live rock from other reefers)

Thanks!

Besides getting them to eat, I've heard a lot of people say that they'd rather pick on their corals than their aiptasia. There's not a great chance that they'll go after aiptastia, but not so negligible as to rule them out. You could try peppermint shrimp. Mine hangs out under a rock all day, not even batting a (non-existent) eyelid at mine. But I'm the only one I've ever heard of with that problem.
