Good morning folks ☕.
It's common to see a Copperband in a reef tank, but I'm sure some other butterflyfish might have a better reputation in reef tanks. Zoster or Polylepis butterflies are often found in reef tanks too... Do you have any other species of butterflyfish that have gotten along well with corals over a long period?
 
I tried a klein's butterfly once. It was a voracious aiptasia eater, and while I never saw it directly attacking any corals, most all of my corals refused to extend polyps until I removed the butterfly.
 
I'm looking for a good option to place them with easy to maintain soft corals.
