I already have a Raccoon Butterfly Fish, Chaetodon lunula. I want to add a Pearlscale Butterflyfish, Chaetodon Xanthurus. They are both Chaetodon family so I was wondering if they would be compatible or if they would conflict?

They will be in a 220g tank LOTS of live rock lots of caves.How big is the tank? How long has the Raccoon been in there? Do you have plenty of rock and caves?
That's a nice size tank, and the plethora of rock and caves really helps. I would think you'd have no problems mixing the two, beyond perhaps a bit of initial aggression (though many times butterflies leave each other alone).They will be in a 220g tank LOTS of live rock lots of caves.
