Saddleback Butterflies

[JCnflies]

Do you think this fish is relatively reef safe? Thx.

IME, with mixed reef corals, no. No experience with SPS and saddlebacks.

No butterfly fish is reef safe. Be careful.

How would you feel about a Copperband?

I have a saddleback going on a year now he doesn't even look at my corals but I only have softies and one porites that came on a mushroom rock I bought. His mouth is shaped so it looks like he would have a hard time eating SPS corals since his lower jaw protrudes forward of the upper jaw. Looks more like he would eat softies or LPS with that mouth but mine doesn't even pick at the corals, but thats just mine others out there might be different.

CBB;s the only thing they would eat is tubeworms/feather dusters. I have one in a reef and love him to death. never had a single problem
