Hey reefers, this weekend I'm headed over to the market to pick up a couple juvenile obligate corallivore butterfly species but haven't made up my mind which I want. I'm going to be training them to eat more traditional foods (no coral). Before anyone tells me how impossible this is, I've done it before with success. And no, I don't think of myself as some kind of "fish savior" or anything like that, I just have developed a strong interest in these fish and my actual purpose is to study these fish in regards to husbandry requirements, any negative habits they may carry out in a DT (apart from eating coral before being weaned onto another diet), and to carry out research in order to learn more about the individual species so that one day they may be available commonly in the hobby.
Here's a video of one of the shops carrying a variety of obligate corallivores near me here in Bangkok.
I have done research on the topic and past failures and partial successes and aim to continue that research where it was left.
