Which Butterfly is safe with Clams and SPS?

[DopeCantWin]

I'm setting up a 210 with only SPS and a single large Squemosa, and looking to add another fish with interesting behavior. Is there a Butterfly I could safely keep in it? I don't want to keep it for a year, and then take it out when it starts picking on the clam, so can't do CBB.

Zoster and/or pyramid would make a gorgeous display in a tank that size.

Are there any Butterflies not in the Hemitaurichthys genus?

I thought CBB's were clam safe- I thought they only messed with fanworms. Am I wrong?

Definitely not.

Most butterflies are a risk to some extent or another... so, if you are unwilling to remove the fish or the coral it is eating, even years down the line, I would recommend not getting a butterfly fish.

Completely off topic, sorry to sidetrack the thread, Peter will you post a picture of your salted agave polyps that you got from Rnegret?
