One of the few good butterflys to keep but, it eats coral polyps.

For sure, pretty well all butterfly fish are designed to eat polyps. Their favorites are things like Zoanthids. I picked up an Auriga last night whose owner gave him away because of his picking behaviour. Five minutes after being put in my tank he was attacking snails.

Thank you John, yes Butters is an awesome fish. To be honest I've never seen her touch anything, except she will attack aiptasia. However I feed them a lot.
