Guy's/ Gal's, Aptasia killing machine

[menard]

I been experimenting w/ all types of butterfly fish for the reefs . This one is great , only bothers Capnella coral. Banded Butterfly ( Chaetodon Striatus ) Atlantic species. I put one in each tank, softies and combination of both. and like I said loves Capnella. Eats so much of it you gonna have to culture aptasia to keep him happy. PIC.

can more then one buttefly be added to a tank? i bought a copperbanded for the aptasia and no luck.

You should rent that fish out to local reefers.

Butterfly fish are't Tangs. Sure you can, tank size permitted.Ocasional agression ones in while but no bigie. You dont wanna put 2 butterfly in 20 gal tank= problem.Right?
