Is the threadfin butterflyfish reef safe?

I have a 70 gallon reef tank. Does anybody know if the threadfin butterfly fish is reef safe?

 

Unfortunately no

 

What will it eat???

 

Polyps, possibly clam's mantles, SPS polyps

 

I only have one small clam (that i could really care less if it got eaten) no SPS and don't plan on getting any of them. What type of polyps will it eat? I only have starburst and yellow.

 

Any soft coral are on their plate. No butterfly or full size angel are reef safe. Dwarf angels are hit or miss on being safe.

 

What do you mean by soft coral on their plate by?

 

On their plate, so it can be cut up with a fork and knife for proper eating.

You cannot get a butterfly fish that's going to be 100% reef safe. They don't exist.

 

Ohhh sorry!!! That was kind of a "DUH" question, right? I didn't see the "are". Thanks for the help!

 

The only butterfly that you can get that MAY be reef safe would be the copperband butterfly but that is a hit or miss as well.
