i never had a problem with this fish. i have a bunch of zoo's sps shrum's never a problem and i know that they are not reef safe. so no one need;s to tell me that any way's so i got some acan's that set him off now he eat's coral all of them!! now im on the hunt i got lucky and got him in the net but lost him now he's a scarry cat what to do well this was just to let every one know once again don't get a butter fly fish if you have a reef.

glad to hear it!

one thing you can try if needed in the future is to leave the net in the tank 24/7 and feed near it. your fish will eventually associate it with food and it should be easy to scoop them up.

cheers!
