Long nose buttetfly and copperband butetfly two species i would put in my reef tank. Just beautiful. The main thing with these fishes even when you get a good specimen is how to sustainably feed them. Your worms particularly tube worms would be gone at most a week and pods wont be able to give the proper nutrients. These fishes will one way or another will be malnourished and hungry and ultimately died. They need to be trained to feed on frozen and dry pellets and flakes.

You may have read that these fishes are within the top three of butterflies that are generally safe in reef environments and i believe those observations are reliable as far as my own experience is concernd. these fishes will barely touch any on your corals sps lps given these corals are healthy.

Just make these fishes feed on prepared food and your good to go.
