do you guys think a raccoon butterfly would cause havoc in an SPS only tank?

It’s hard to say but it’s possible. As with all butterflies, it’s hit or miss with corals. I’d say it’s less of a risk if your SPS are large and established as butterflies tend to just peck and not go all out at corals.do you guys think a raccoon butterfly would cause havoc in an SPS only tank?
I have a Majano problem which is the reason I want to put one in there and the copper band has zero interest in themIt’s hard to say but it’s possible.

Thank you! Let’s see how it goesI have 2 True Falcula Butterfly in a 210 gallon SPS dominate tank that do not touch anything except Aptasia
Thety are one of the top candidates especially with softies and sps with polyps. Same for heniocus, pakistani, pearlscale abd aurigado you guys think a raccoon butterfly would cause havoc in an SPS only tank?
This is why you need 2 tanks! One for a few corals you can keep with angels/butterflies and for a mixed reef with coral you can’t keep in the other!I tried a few different species of Butterflies and Angels because some are really beautiful. All the soft LPS,clams,Zoas etc..were on the menu so they were removed to a different system. They didn’t touch any Euphyllia. My SPS didn’t have any PE during the day… even the Millies, but did at night. I missed having a mixed reef so they had to go….I only keep Genocanthus species of Angels now.
At the time I didn't have any Gonis,but I wouldn’t of chanced it.This is why you need 2 tanks! One for a few corals you can keep with angels/butterflies and for a mixed reef with coral you can’t keep in the other!
Did you find angels/butterflies went for goniopora or were they safe?
I font think that there is anything that would interest in Majano that does not interested in all the corals. Majano is one noxious anemone.I have a Majano problem which is the reason I want to put one in there and the copper band has zero interest in them
