Will mushrooms be okay with a pearlscale, a lemon(masked), or a copperband butterfly fish?

Hey Dylan. I know that Copperbands will go after Anenomes and Crabs and can be a little bit difficult to get to eat but do well in an Established Reef

However there sre two Hardy Butterflies I know of But ARE NOT REEF SAFE
The Auriga and Saddleback

Good luck

The only thing that I know of that eats mushrooms is a puffer. You should be fine although there is always that first time syndrome.

Yeah, no guarantees, ESPECIALLY with butterflies, but like Alton said ^^ that is not usually in their diet.

I was going to do a FOWLR, but wanted to add some color, if possible. I only have enough light to support mushrooms, so its okay if I can't. I have found a couple of red mushrooms on the live rock I bought, but before that, I sliced a green mushroom from my 20g and placed it in this tank. No fish yet, so it will have time to attach and get "happy". Only time will tell when I buy a butterfly. Thanks for all of your help, guys/girl! :)
