Truncate butterfly (Chelmonops truncatus)?

[craiglanda]

Anyone have any experience with these fish? I was wondering if these have been reported to eat aiptasia? i know that every individual is different but just in general if this species is known to eat it...I was also wondering how "coral safe" is it? I know butterflies are known to be coralvores but do these have a preference for SPS, LPS, softies, or all of the above?

Here's some info..........feeds on algae & inverts. I doesn't seem to come from an area where corals are widespread.

Apparently they prefer cooler temperatures according to info on the one listed on Live aquaria. That fish has been listed for a few months. I think the cooler temp preference has kept people from buying it.
