Anyone know if the Pearlscale, Margined Coral, or Heniochus Black and White eat anemones? Can someone with any experience please let me know? Would like to add a Colorado Sunburst but I should prolly ask first haha. Thanks!
 
I have no experience, but I have avoided putting any butterfly fish in my anemone reef out of precaution. They are known to eat inverts and some corals. I wouldn't risk a CSB becoming a meal or at the very least being irritated enough that it eventually dies or never truly looks its best.
However, if you can find a bold enough clown, or two, to host with the CSB, they may keep any nippers away.
