Klein butterfly

Anyone has one in their reef tank? Safe with anemones and soft corals?

Don't do it. Had one last month for 1 week, at first just nipped at acros then quickly had a taste for every coral in the tank from zoa, lps, sps, Kenya tree nothing was safe except the aptaisia, never touched it.

Pyramids are reef safe. They are plank-tonic feeders.
They are a lot like Watanabei Angelfish an angel that is reef safe.
Klein butterfly not so much.
