has anyone kept a pearlscale butterfly in a mixed reef? i know theyre a cheatodon spp. but they look awesome

Pearlscale is one of the worst candidates for butterflies in a reef tank. The ones that most commonly work are copperband, pyramid, and longnose. I know someone who has kept an auriga in a reef with no problems but I don’t think it’s a common thing.
