    I'm thinking of getting an orange butterfly to help control some aiptasia in my tank and cause I like their looks. I know they can go after coral sometimes too. What type of coral is most in danger from them?

    I have sps (birds nest, horn coral, pavona cactus, pocillipora) lps (candy cane) rbt anemone, leather (devils hand) brain coral, mushrooms, ricordea, gorgonzola, and some zoas.

    So my devils hand, mushrooms, zoas, and ricordea may be in danger.
    Does anyone have any first hand experience? How'd it work for you
