Brain Coral

I just put a brain coral in my tank. My Pearlscale Butterfly was picking at it. Will this continue? should I take the brain back? Should I try to catch the butterfly and take it back?

Butterfly fish for the most part aren't reef safe. The one you return should depend on the direction you want to go with the tank. Return the coral if you'd rather keep the fish, and vice-versa if you want a reef tank.

I was affraid you were going to say that. We got the butterfly for our majano problem. And I probably won't be able to catch him. Bummer! Thanks for your advice.
