    Okay,

    Here's the deal. My tank is going great, but it has a 6-line and 2 small clowns. It needs fish. I'm thinking a few more small fish and a centerpiece. The tank is a 60 with about 20g in the sump, so while I want a regal or an emperor, they would have to be small and wouldn't be able to stay in long term. I've thought about a powder blue, but its still cramped and we all know their problems.

    I have a couple of ideas, but I just struck on the thought of having a semilarvatus butterfly in a reef tank. Any experience out there? Please tell me why its a bad idea and I'll move right on.

    Its a beautiful fish though, and likely to show a lot... just what I need. If its a bad idea, please add your recommendations. I really am struggling to find a nice showpiece fish to cap off my reef.

    It might be trouble with clams, softies and LPS. Definitely would be an unique addition.
