Question about zoster butterfly

[n8ureman]

I was wondering if anyone had the zoster or black pyramid butterfly in their reef. I already have two yellow pyramids in the tank, and I'm wondering how they would get along? Also, if anyone out there does have one, can you post a pic.

I have a yellow and a zoster in QT right now together.... they dont fight at all, they swim around together.
I've got a phone pic, thats the best I can do right now....

The black one looks really skinny.

I dont disagree...
I've only had them since friday... It took both of them a little while to really start eating like crazy, but now they're going pretty good. Been feeding them all kinds of selcon soaked meaty stuff 3 times a day... Hopefully he's just thin from shipping and holding and will come around, but the meds are running and I've got my eye on him.

I suggest treating for flukes; they often come in with them.

How reef safe are these Fish? I assume that they will pick on something, hopefully aptasia.

Nope.... they're Planktivores. The only supposed "reef safe" butterflies.
