    I wanted to start this survey to help make a decision. Im debating on wether to keep my scribbled rabbit fish in my reef tank or move my rainfardi butterfly in there. I could put the scribble in my frag tank until it matures and gets its scribble marks. Please answer this pole with complete disreguard for the possibility of the butterfly being a coral eater. Thanks for your help.

    I like the rabbit fish due to the fact it grazes algea all day

    Butterfly would be extremely expensive to feed. Algae is cheap.

    Ok keep in mind that I already own both and the rainfordi is also a grazer.

    true but not as much as a rabbit fish,to me a rabbit fish will be more benifical in a reef.
