butterfly ???

[Myka]

Butterflyfish are notoriously difficult to keep. They are difficult to acclimate to captivity and difficult to keep healthy long-term. "The pros" question feeding requirements among other issues, but the issue hasn't been studied. Hopefully he settles in for you, not much you can do other than keep the lights off for a day or two. You may have difficulty getting him to feed, try frozen bloodworms and frozen clams in a shell.

I don't know what you mean by the "leaves tested good excerpt posthaste." Maybe that was auto spell check and you meant "levels tested good except phosphate."?
