Our mission

Yellow Longnose Butterfly (Forcipiger flavissimus) in Reef?

Does anyone have any of these guys in their reef tank? Or had any prior experiences? Looks like they are as safe as CBB in a reef tank...?
 
As safe as CBB? Meaning like most any other fish extremely hit or miss? :D

I wouldn't put that in any tank I kept corals, unless that tank was already fully grown in.
 
Adding a longnose butterfly to my reef tank is not something I would do either, unless as Mike mentioned -all of my corals were bountiful and ultra grown out, to negate any picking that may, and probably will occur :) Very picky eater as well, IME.
 
Caribbean longsnout bfly is in the reef with no problems whatsoever:
