Pearlscale Butterflyfish in reef tank

[Vakko]

I recently purchased a Pearlscale indirectly from Living Color via my LFS. I researched and researched which butterfly I wanted and other than CBB, every other species was basically "Reef safe, with caution" with a some exceptions as "threat."

So I went with the one I thought was best looking and rolled the dice.

So far, he has nipped at some zoas and polythoas but he hasn't looked at any of my LPS or SPS.

Atm, his friends are Powder Blue Tang, ocellaris clown, African cleaner wrasse, and 2 skunk shrimp.

Does anyone have any experience with this species in a moderately stocked reef tank?

Today, my wife used a technique where you implant a reef rock with frozen goodies for him to find...

It worked out great! Almost immediately after the rock was placed into the tank, he started facing head straight down, poking his nose into the crevices to get at the thawed mysis.

Still have this fish...? Or did it eat your reef clean?
