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

but found another one

Chaetodon sedentarius perhaps.

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.

Chaetodon sedentarius perhaps.

Spot on, the pictures look exactly like her!
