Hello everyone! I need some help identifying this butterfly fish. The label on the tank at my LFS said “Reef Butterfly”

As we all have experienced before .
not many butterflyfish are reef safe and if they are now , they have potential to turn to coral munchers eventually .

a lot of lfs will order any butterflyfish as they are beautiful fish and will sell ,
But their mortality rate is high

Hopefully she will be okay, it’s been a few weeks now. Her and my coral beauty have been great. As for eating coral they did eat a small micromussa but they haven’t touched anything else so I’m okay with that.
