Lately the tank has been taken over by aiptasia (sp?) anemone, which I wouldn't really mind as some of them are quite pretty, but I think they are bothering the fish a bit. I see what I think are sting marks periodically on all of them, but I am most worried about the trigger, who likes to park himself in the rocks at night but I think there are soon going to be no spots he can go. Maybe I worry too much. Anyway, I read that the auriga butterfly is good at removing the anemone, and I kind of wanted another fish anyway. Do you think this would be a good fit? None of them have particularily aggressive personalities.

If you can set up another tank to house the fish I would do so and add 2 peppermint shrimp that will clean up your main tank. very slowly acclimate carefully and remove them before you add the fish back.
Shrimp and others will be eaten by your predators and IMO a butterfly will not survive with the predators.
