Butterfly fish - angel fish

[frankieboy]

Hi I was wondering if anyone had problems with butterfly fishes in there reef tank. I read there reef caution like the Cooperband buterfly fish I would like to get one but nervous cause if it eats corals I will scratch it out stock list. I haven't setup my tank build yet cause I'm slow on deciding what I want. Using liveaquaria for fish comparability. Anyone has experience with these type of fish. And what fish should I avoid, for a mixed reef tank. Iamo my setting up is slow I hope that I'm not wasting time planning on my build and be a pain to you guys.

Butterflies are best left to the experts. Not only can they Ray tour corals, there's a good chance they won't eat anything else. Alot of people have a hard time getting them to eat prepared foods

please stick to more hardy fishes like damsels, clowns, Cardinals, Blennies, etc...

Skip the damsels, you will regret having those in your tank, as for clowns look into the perculas or occelaris.

Thanks guys for suggestion reading on how butterfly fishes can eat corals I scratch them put of list to stock. And I plan on true percula clownfish mated pair, still planing on tangs, what do you guys think about chromis. And why you guys don't like demsil fish.
