butterfly fish are very hard to get acclimated to your tank and eating. they die very often. i tried 2 and they would let food hit them in the face but wouldnt eat anything. they are nice looking fish though. good luck with whatever you choose

Pick up a few berghia nudibranches and they will eat all the tiny new aiptasia. Best solution IMO.
