What will a Butterfly do to a Monti Cap?

[cveverly]

I have a 125 SPS tank and I have a 180 with a mix of Angles, Butterflies, tang and wrasses. Most of the fish are already in the 180 and doing well. I am just not liking the baron rock look and wanted to try a couple corals. I know the polyps are going to be picked at but will it kill the Monti? I also have some Hydnophora I could try. I am not willing to sacrifice my acros but are there any other types of coral that may survive? GSP, xenia, mushrooms or any other softies that might work.


EDIT: I guess I should list the fish I am concerned about. Butterflies are Four Eye, Auriga and Pakistan. Flame a Bi-color angel. Annularis and Queen (I know the Queen will be a pain in the future).

Bump for an interesting question.

The pakistan and auriga will most likely pick at any sps. Auriga Butterflys have a very cosmopolitan taste and will usually eat most corals. I have however kept both of these butterflies with Sinularia's, Sarcophytons and zenia with minimum issues.

Never kept a 4 eye butterfly.

The angels are more a hit and miss.

I found this on youtube so maybe there is hope.
