Copperbanded Butterfly in with anemones and tube anemones

ReeferBill · Jan 30, 2012

Ok, so I have a 180 with about 8 fish, and I want to add a copperbanded butterfly in there. The only corals I have are some finger leathers, spagetti leathers, a toadstool, a RBTA and 4 tube anemones. My concern is the CBB will pick at and eat the tube nems. They have the thin tentacles like atpasia and I am afraid that the CBB would rip them apart. But I know the tube nems have stingers in their tentacles to. Does anyone have any advice on this subject?
Thanks,
Bill

Not a good idea

Butterflys are made to eat anemones as someone said.

This is what will happen and after awhile they will poke thru. Those horse shoe spots are my kliens butterfly bite marks. In the wild a hundred fish school will go after anemones and clowns are their only defense/.
