Heniochus butterfly &compatability

[new_world_disor]

Looking at getting a heniochus butterfly, just wanted to see if it wil be ok with my other inhabitants. Read somewhere they dont get on with bangais.

Currently i have

6 x chromis
1 x firefish
1 x cleaner wrasse
1 x mandarin
1 x bangai (had a pair but one snuffed it .)
2 x ocellaris clowns

Thanks

The get pretty large, what size is your tank? There are at least 3 different varieties of these so called banner fish

More than 3, and the only one that is regarded as reef safe is H. diphruetes (sic?), the "schooling bannerfish"

4x2x2. Mixed reef.

IMO, a 4ft tank will be pushing it for that fish.

Fairy nuff. Only really seen them on "tanked" the tv program. I know their stocking options are questionable at the best of times, but saw a couple in my lfs and couldnt find a huge amount online.
