    Default Heniochus Butterfly

    Any one have experience with this butterfly? Would you consider it reef safe?

    When I have looked them up I have seen yes and no on the reef safe? I would like to have more than one in my tank if they are reef safe.

    So far as corals go, I haven't heard of many problems. They will, however, eat any and all tubeworms, shrimp, etc. Be aware that these guys are pretty poor shippers, so if you're going to get some, make sure your lfs quarantines them. They also do best in a school of 3 or more, 6 would be preferable. Of course, it all depends on the size of your tank as to how many to get.

    Good luck. For some reason that fish cannot survive in my tank. everytime I purchased one, then it would die within that same week.
    Just like FossilReef said I've heard they're not reef same, that's why I didn't invest in a 3rd one since I've switched from a FOWLR to a Mix Reef
