In the past when I kept butterflies I found they they can flip out a little when you first add them. Keeping the mainlights off does wonders for them. Try to avoid a lot of foot traffic past the tank, don't wear dark clothes (you look like a shark) and feed them lots to eat. Give it mysis with garlic to help it mellow out (hard to be stressed when you're full) and to help ward off ich. It'll take a few days to calm down, then it'll eat every tube worm in your tank...
