Pyramid Butterflys?

[Jax5670]

Hi everyone, just got a question. I have a 90 gallon reef with all lps corals. Would it be possible to put a couple small Pyramid Butterflys in the tank ? I have read numerous articles saying they are reef safe. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, they are plankton eaters. Should be safe, similar to Genicanthus angels. Although I have heard reports of them eating Xenia.

+1 on them being planktivorous. I don't think I would add more than one in a 90 though

No problems with corals but they get big and grow pretty fast. I think they would be bouncing from end to end in a 90 gallon. I have two in my 430 gallon, 8 ft tank. They can swim that 8 ft really fast. And they are actually somewhat aggressive toward each other and some of the other fish in the tank.
