Juv emperor and butterflyfish are known as coral eaters .

but now having them . Slowly adding different species of corals will prove some corals are able to be stocked .

the emperor will leave sps alone along with more stinging types such as euphilia.
But not too sure about the butterfly .

Gonna probably have to decide between coral and those fish or just keep putting coral in there until you find something they won’t eat.

Normal behavior. Tis the difference between reef safe fish and not reef safe fish.

Zoas are fortunately cheap.

Put in more because they are hungry.

Then thank them for removing the weeds from your tank (sic).
