Which one do you like more and would pick for a 4’x2’x2’ tank? I have been debating on trading in my CBB and going for one of these two, I don’t know which would be more suited to the mixed reef environment I want to get eventually though, which would you pick and why? Here’s the two I’m on about for anyone who doesn’t know:
H. zoster

I have a zoster and love it. Mine is very active and friendly. Swims my 150 all day long and has not picked at any coral. We do keep them fed very well though. Best of luck :)

I’m leaning towards that but the Burgess has a smaller size and similar colours, The other butterfly I was looking at is the mitratus butterfly so I don’t know which I like more or which I would go for.
 
Zoster is considered reef safe and the Burgess is not. I had zoster and he was perfect in my tank. One thing the zoster will feed on is Xenia. That was a good thing in my tank.
