Possibly selling Butterfly pair

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

Pakistani Butterfly pair.

I got these 5 year old Butterfly fish from another member on here about a month ago. They are super aggressive eaters and actually steal so much of my puffers food (she is double their size but so submissive) that she has become a bit stressed out and is losing weight.

I am debating what I want to do, if I try for longer or not but I figured that if I could find a really great home for them, I would let them go. They came from a 400G tank and are currently in a 150 (6' long). I would say they need something a little larger if possible.

They are very peaceful but they do nip most corals. They currently eat pellets about 3-4 times a day and one larger meal of meaty food like clam or prawn or squid.

If interested to know more, text me at 778-384-4543

I'll probably be picky about where they go because I really like these fish and just want to see if there is a better home out there...

$100 for pair (what i paid)

I only have some Digitatas but I have never seen them nip those. They prefer to eat zoas. They also nip at gorgonians, leathers and mushrooms of all things but doesn't seem like it's enough to do much harm.

I only have one LPS, a Duncan but they leave it alone too.

I would just say they are not reef safe but it depends on if you care about them nipping corals or not. I don't think they would wipe out healthy colonies unless they aren't fed well.

Hey yeah sorry didnt mean to imply they would eat all corals.
My buddies tank was a Fish Only with other butterflies as tankmates so there was never an attempt made to keep them from tasting corals.
Very different environment.
