I know that many people have reported success with this butterfly in a reef due to it's mouth shape preventing it from doing any harms to corals. Zoas seem like they would be able to be eaten by this fish if the fish decided to eat them. Any success or horror stories?

Never kept one, but my understanding from reading on this board leads me to believe that they're really more if a problem for LPS - usually because they're trying to steel food that the coral is eating. They stick their pointy little snouts into the coral's mouth and can damage the tissue. I don't think I've heard of them eating zoanthids, but anything is possible.

Other success or horror stories w/ this fish? I also want to keep one in a 75 gallon w/ Zoes. Does this work?
