Re: reef safe butterfly fish??
copperbands are reletively safe if kept well fed. there are some corals they may nip at but if well fed they should be good. no clams. and i also dont reccomend them. they dont fair too well in captivity

Re: reef safe butterfly fish??
copperbands will almost for sure eat your clam up

Re: reef safe butterfly fish??
Copperbands rarely survive more than a couple months. The longest I've heard of one living was Yote's, his lasted about six months. That's about it for butterflies. The rest of them will eat corals.

Re: reef safe butterfly fish??
I haven't hear of any butterflies that were 100% reef safe.There are some that are ''with caution'' meaning small ornamental shrimps and corals can still be in danger.Copperbands(so difficult) and Golden(easy-moderate but expensive) are two of the reef safer kinds.
