Tahitian Butterflyfish in Mushroom Only Tank

[monkeysee1]

Hi again everyone!
Quick question about the Tahitian Butterflyfish:
Has anyone ever had one?
If so, how do you think they would be in a mushroom only tank with a few inverts (sea urchins, hermits, emeralds, cleaner shrimp)??
I had a Pakistan Butterflyfish for almost thirteen years, until (I'm guessing, now) old age got the best of him. He was a very good fish and NEVER touched ANY of these in my tank.
I tried to research compatibility of the Tahitian Butterfly on line but I COULDN'T find much specific information.
LFS I've been doing business for several years suggested one might be okay in my mushroom / motile invert only tank.
I DO NOT intend to go the softies, LPS or SPS route, at least not in the near future.
Any insight from anyone??
Thanks so much, all!

MOO, it really depends on the individual fish. Most things I’m seeing say this species is likely to pick at polyps.

Thank you, grass!
Yeah, that's what I thought.
I might nix the Tahitian then.
I thought about getting a Copperband because I've read they are okay with mushrooms but I'm worried about two things: getting it to eat and how it will be with my Scopas Tang. I mean, my Scopas was cool enough with my Pakistan Butterflyfish but I don't know about he'll act around a Copperband.

Zebrasoma tangs often will not tolerate a copperband. Too similar in shape, and they assume it is a competitor of food. I don't think a Tahiti butterfly would eat mushrooms. Mushroom corallimorphs are toxic to most anything.
