Question about Chaetodon collare...

[reefman13]

On Divers Den, it is labled "with caution" for reef safe. What makes this so?

Reefman13,

Thank you for your post. The Chaetodon collare eats stony corals in the wild and care should be taken when housing it in a reef aquarium as it will nip at many sessile invertebrates that grow on live rock.

Almost all butterflies will go after corals. Ya there's a few exceptions, but why take a chance.
