I have both of these guy on the way along with a few others. They are going into a reef after QT. I have a few questions regarding reef compatibility.
I do have a good sized cleaner shrimp. By what I read he should be okay.

I have a few softy corals. I know both of these fish have a tendency to nip at SPS and occasionally softies.

I can’t seem to find much information on here about these 2 fish. Is their anybody who has them or has dealt with them that has any advice?

Thank in advance,
Zack
 
I'd say they're both a risk, but I don't have any experience with either.
 
The eiblii may or may not nip. Fleshy LPS, zoas, gsp are the most likely to be nipped.

The butterfly is much more likely to eat the abobe corals.
 
Just some updates. Everyone made it here in one piece, aside from a chromis. Here are a few updates of everyone in an observation QT
