My copperband butterfly is 4 inches from noise to tail started nip at my sps
I have him in tank around 5 weeks ago no problem at all but last week butterfly nip at lps after I moved all lps out of tank last weekend now butterfly start turn to sps
My question is it reef safe or not?

I think you answered your own question.

Last 5 weeks he is reef safe but he turned to not reef safe
Any way thank you Sir TD.

According to LiveAquaria, they're reef safe with caution. I had a flame angle, also reef safe with caution, that I never really saw nip my SPS but their polyp extension just wasn't there. I sold the flame and the acros looked much better.

I've always thought that butterflies were not reef safe.

Many store people tell me that they are safe...
