As for the butterflies, they didn't make it through QT. Had them in the previous 100gal and they were doing really well besides eating every type of coral or anemone that is. I decided I wanted to quarantine all new and existing livestock for 6 weeks prior to placing them in the new tank as I had seen occasional signs of ich and suspected the butterflies might even have gill flukes. Regardless the goal was to start fresh without any disease, unfortunately the butterflies didn't do well in quarantine while all other previously established fish seemed to do just fine and pulled through the process without issue. A couple new fish also didn't fair well so my new QT experience has not been great. As a result taking a break from fish for a while, going to stock up on coral in meantime and work on improving the quarantine tanks.
