I am curious to hear from anyone that has kept one or more of these in a reef tank; specifically SPS dominated. I get that fish are individuals, but is there a general view on what to expect. I'm not that worried about a bit of nipping, but I don't want a coral armegeddon.

Edit: GREAT, made sure to spell semilarvatus correctly ..... then mistyped butterfly ...... Gak!

Well. I've never had a Semilarvatus, but I did know how to correct Butterfly. They are a beautiful species though. Curious to hear others experiences.
 
They are supposed to be ok with sps. @Brad Syphus had one if memory serves me right, and he has a pretty successful sps tank.
 
Though sorely tempted, I've concluded this is likely ill advised. Already have one yellow munching machine in the form of a LemonPeel.
