Is that a Klein’s butterfly in there?!?? Sweet! That’s awesome! I haven’t seen one in a reef in like 10 years. There was a guy named Limpet’s Reef who had one that ate aiptasia. The Haddoni’s are cool but that butterfly is even cooler to me!
Yes - I have 4 tanks = 4 Klein’s butterflies. I used to stress out over aiptasias but no more! Ha They do eat some of my zoas though but hey - small price to pay!

Hell yeah! A Copperband that does a good job on aiptasia is really cool and helpful. A Klein’s Butterfly does it with a bit of style. I like to see when people take a risk and are rewarded. Nice Lobophyllia by the way. Looks like it has been enjoying that spot for a while.

lol - I was pulling my eyeballs out dealing with aiptasias, literally tried everything! I owe this credit (and many thanks) to @vetteguy53081 :)

Lobo: indeed. I’ve had it for more than a decade. It splits into 5 heads and I finally fragged it 4 ways. It’s one extreme survivor over the years!
 
I thought about putting a guard clown pair in the tank. I've tried the clown route but only with percula and Ocellaris. They've ignored the carpet. I've stayed away from jerk clowns like maroon or tomato. Maybe I should try that.
Clarkii’s love haddoni. I had one that would literally go in and out of the mouth of the anemone.
