Nice job Josh, but I would think twice about a Copper Ban Butterfly if I was you. I have had 2 now in my 8' tank, both ate mysis like a little piggy but then stopped eating suddenly and died. Some people have had great luck with them but the track record is not good.

I would get a Sailfin Tang, a Powder Blue Tang and a Naso Tang in that big boy.

Just my opinion.

Alrighty then, I'll have to load up on cleaner shrimp then to attack any aptasia that may appear in my tank then.
