Soft coral safe butterfly's?

[Charley Diesing]

Interested in starting a soft-coral only tank... Anyone have experience w/ specific butterfly's leaving these alone? That might eat stony, LPS, or Zoas?

Thanks,

Charley.

I had a pearscale for a couple years, with soft corals in college. It left mushrooms, leathers, xenia, gsp alone. It was killed by a psycho yellow tang.

I've been doing research and I have seen a couple of people try these. The pearl-scale is one of my favorites!

Merton's would be a close relative to check out. Supposedly they both are mostly algae and benthic invert eaters.

I have a copperband. He ate all my acans and picked at my brain when first added but hasn't took chef anything else.

Hmm I may consider one of those. If I were to do this I would have mostly cheapo corals!

From the research I've been doing acans and brains seem to be the most "juicy" for butterfly's!
