Raccoon Butterfly ate my majanos

[lionfish300]

Like I said, I was willing to take the chance. Probably gonna have to deal with the next issue, the butterfly eating other corals, but that is what we always face in this hobby, isn't it........Right now I am in aquarium heaven.:dance:

That is cool specially when you already try other methods. Just be ready to trap/ move him unless you want your tank to be fish only

Please forgive me for steering thread in a different direction for one post but, snorvich, are Copperband Butterflys also not coral safe?

Sometimes (about 50%) Many have luck, but it can go the other way too.

No butterfly is guaranteed reef safe. Copperbands are definitely one of the safer bets, but do carry the chance of nipping coral polyps. They do also come with the baggage of being more delicate as they are less likely to take to prepared food in captivity. Pyramid and kliens are also pretty good bets but again it's on an individual basis.

It should also be noted that a "model citizen" can turn. I had a friend lose thousands of dollars of acans in a 24 hour period to a regal angel that had been living in the tank for years. She's not sure what happened - maybe it picked some food off of a polyp, got a taste of acan and decided these were too good to pass up.

Fixed that for you (bold) and I have seen "model citizen" s turn.
