Copperband Butterfly Fish?

[Texas Reefer]

I'm sorry if this gets asked alot but,
Would a CBF pick at my BTA or my rock flower anenomes, or any of my polyps?
TIA

Most likely no, but you can never ever be 100% sure with a butterfly

I don't think it would mess with your anemones, but it might develop a taste for your polyps.

Hmm,. I have too many undesirable polyps...

 

[Texas Reefer]

Wait, what kind of polyps are we talking about? I don't want one picking on my sps polyps, but wouldn't mind a CBF taking out my Texas Trash palyps.

I've found them to be sage with sps and desireable anemones. Acans and other open brains are more at risk.

 

[fishbox]

I've heard of them picking at Acans

[emoji17]. I've got one nice acan.

I've had mine for 5 months with no issues at all. I do have some Acans that are not doing well but I can't pin it on the CBB because I haven't seen him picking on them and I believe it started before I got him, everything else is doing great. I have 3 Anemones and he doesn't pick at any of them or the Maxima clam. Took care of the Aptasia I had, I don't see any small ones anymore and just find the occasional big one that I assume he can't get to so they grow.
Here he is cruising the front of the tank. I read about them being difficult to get to eat or timid around other fish when feeding, but this guy is not like that at all. My favorite fish with a lot of personality.

I have one on my sps tank for 2 years . Haven't seen mind touching anynof my sps

Mine has been with me almost two years. Hasn't touched an acan, zoa, sps,euphyllia, dendro,brain or any of my rock flower anemones. Feather dusters are another story.

The only thing I would be concerned about that I don't have at the moment is a clam. That might also be on the menu.
