I've come across super cute Burgess butterflyfish
But I've heard they eat corals... Anyone has one? How safe is it.. My tank is mostly sps and some zoa

Burgess are one of the safer butterflys, your sos would be fine, zoas however would be 50/50 at best.

Mines not killed anything in my tank. The only thing he did attack was a new chalice coral which was already stressed and had tissue necrosis already which i didnt realise at the store. Corals i have/had being blastos, montis, stylos, duncans, gonis, euphyllia,psammocora and various softies.
However minewill pick at corals randomly and may cause reduce polyp extension to certain corals, mainly just the montis as such, but they dont seem to care and continue to grow. Just keep the butterfly well fed and try to introduce after all coral has been added, so nothing is entering his environment new as such.

mine have been well behaved. I have a whole range of corals that they might eat but mine doesn't eat any. Acros, montis, euphyllia, chalices, sun corals, dendros, duncans, leptos, lepastrea, mushrooms, leathers, zoas, blastos, trumpets, acans,
