butterfly fish

[rmw4547]

do all butterfly fish eat aptasia? and what are the most reef safe types?

[Fish_wiz2]

Depends the only one i know that does that is the copperbanded butterfly fish and it is reef safe.

It's not always reef safe it's hit or miss, couple people have told me they will munch on LPS, but i got lucky with mine he is a model citizen.
O Try to get one that eats mysis as well.

People have been raving about the kleins butterfly lately. I have heard that they eat majano and aptaisa.

I agree with the above statement. That it is hit or miss with any " Reef Safe" butterfly

[marinelife]

Anything that eats aptaisa are not going to be reef safe, if there are reef safe then they would not eat them. But they maybe safe with the corals you have. My Emperor Angel eats them but leaves my SPS corals alone

I have several aiptasia I need to eradicate, and the old Kalk method isn't working so well. I've been seriously considering getting a CBB, but I know it might not eat the aiptasia but surely would eat the crowns off all my little filter-feeding feather dusters.
