    ive had this fish for a while now. when i got him he went after my button pylops nipping at them. now hes going after my elegance coral to the point the coral wont come out. this will be a silly question but should i get rid of him? whats the difference betwen this fish and the schooling butterfly? this thread can be deleted. found out its not reef safe :(. so hes gone.

    There are two types. The Heniochus Diphreutes and the Heniochus Acuminatus. The latter is not reef safe. It looks like thats the one you have.

    It its what it is and how it should be.
