Default Pakistani Butterfly

I bought a nice Pakastani BF for my fish only tank to replace my clown fish. Its eating brine shrimp and mysis so far in my QT tank. Any suggestions on keeping this fish would be appreciated. I finally bought a digital camera (Canon A710) for my wife for christmas, so hopefully I can start posting pics if I can figure out how to do it.

I saw one at a LFS today. Beautiful fish, but I'm a newbie and don't know much about them.

Here is a good page for info.
Pakistani Butterflyfish, Red-tailed Butterflyfish, Chaetodon collare
If that is the same fish I prob wouldn't keep it personally.
Let me quote some of it.....
Quote:
Though you can often find the Red-tailed Butterflyfish or Pakistani Butterflyfish available for your marine aquarium, it can be a difficult fish to keep. It likes to eat coral polyps which are a difficult food to provide unless you keep a reef, and if you keep a reef, you probably don't want your corals eaten.

Try feeding a good angel or spirulina formula. They may eat live brine shrimp but will not thrive on that diet alone.
