thanks for the input. She isnt stressed from the other fish and gets along with them. She has a hearty appetite and fights off my tang for food. She has no problem getting to the food but she cant eat it. Ill give 4-5 days in the main tank and see if she if the swelling goes down. I know on WWM they use epson salt for pop eye to reduce swelling, so thought mabye it would work for the butterfly as well. I dont know if they will harn the coral or not, anyone know? I understand they crab was just being a crab, and he has a spot in the refugium now, and even has a name ( which probaly isn't appropiate for canreef :-) I do have a quarantine tank , but have had nothing but bad experiences with it, and have lost more fish using it then not. all the fish are healty with no signs of ick for almost a year.
Will post how the butterflys doing in a few days. thanks for all the replies
