I did a good amount kg googling and couldnt find much with people who keep them. Maybe it’s just a bad idea lol

We have one in a SPS tank at work

Works fine, but our poor Galaxea doesn't like the constant nipping. Eats some Stylopora as well, but they seems fine.

From what i have read the deeper water chaetodon have a less likely appetite towards sps.

Pyramid butterflies are stated to be the most safe. None are guaranteed to not find a liking though. No first had experience keeping them with corals, just articles i have read.
