What butterflys can be kept in a reef?

copper bands are seen in reefs occasionally. usually to fight aptasia invasions (I think the Austrailian ones are better at this but it's still a crap shoot).

longnose, pyrmaid, mulleris, copperbands they are all pretty much reef safe. They only thing that a few of those would eat are your tube worms.
 
The schooling bannerfish is also a good fish for the reef. be really careful to not mistake them for the regulr heniochus because they are not the same fish.
 
I have had good luck with my copperband so far. He only eats aptasia and mysis though. It's a GREAT looking fish that we get lots of compliments on:)
 
the australian copperbands do 20x better then the other ones. The collection and handling of them is so much better.

i suggest marginalis from australia. they are a beautiful butterfly and related to the copperband (chelmon species)
