LOL, you have options, even in a reef. Chelmon species, Hemitaurichthys species, even Heniochus if your tank is big enough....

I have a 220 just sps frags ATM
I was thinking bout trying 2-3 saddle backs but love the dusky get pretty good deal on butterfly's at my Lfs as most won't buy because they supposedly can't be added to reef they get saddle back from time to time the dusky would be special order ...
What you think??

 

[SDguy]

I tried a saddleback in a reef and it ate everything.... sps to lps. They also don't get along with each other unless paired. Never tried a flavirostris in a reef. ... but they get really big.

Sd would a 220 be too small ?
I do have already an emperor and a scribbled and 2 rabbit fish so I guess ill have to wait till I get a fish only going down the road my dream would be to have a 3-400 gallon fish only mostly butterfly

I QT all new fish. Usually its the pbt that has an issue with new fish so I leave the lights off for a few days... this usually does the trick.

@SDguy just discovered your FOWLRs and I’m so thrilled to see such an amazing collection of angels and butterflies! I have something similar in the works in my 125g but getting my butterflies to gain weight without also having my wrasses become obese has been a challenge. Any tips? Do you have a build thread or anything I can check out for basic food/frequency/water quality info?
