I have another Chaetodon member, (Chaetodon rafflesi) a latticed butterfly, in my tank with SPS, 1 small acan frag, and 3 BTAs. At first when I added it, it would stop at all the SPS, and 'look' at them, then move on... maybe it knew I was watching? It also picked all over the place at the rocks, some sponges and stuff, algae. It did for a couple weeks pick at the polyps of 1 SPS coral, but for the last 2 months I haven't seen it look at anything. I had 2 aiptasia left after using berghias to eliminate a bunch, and the butterfly took care of those. It is supposed to eat anemonies and potentially nip at LPS and stuff... but it has never looked at any of the anemonies once, nor bothered the acan frag.
He now eats pellets like a champion, even floating pellets!
Its like tony said, the challenge is they will change their minds. Some people have tangs that eat coral from time to time, lol.
The golden may be a bit more likely to try the SPS than a latticed.
Good luck!
Chris
