SPS safe butterflyfish in the genus Chaetodon

[jacrispy516]

I've heard a lot of stories where Angelfish like Emperors, Regal, Majestic will eat their LPS and softies but not eat SPS. I really love butterflyfish and know pyramids and zosters, longnose, certain henniochus and copperbands have a decent chance of not eating SPS. But my favorite butterflyfish are of the genus Chaetodon. Similar to the more SPS safe angelfish that aren't safe with other coral are there any Chaetodon butterflyfish that fit this description or will pretty much the entire genus happily munch on SPS as well?

Any of the Chaetodon subgenus Roaps will do well in an SPS aquarium.. The only issue is their price tag! Burgess, Tinkeri (Hawaii Ban :/), Mitratus, Declivis, and Flavocoronatus Link here

Ah now that I think of it I have seen a few vids of Tinker's in reef tanks online. Ahh those pricetags are steep.

No worries still useful info to know for anyone looking for a reef safe butterfly. I knew of the Atlantic Longnose but never heard of the marcella butterflyfish very neat.
