That's the chance you take with Butterflies labeled as " Reef Compatible: No".....

EDIT: You may want to try feeding him more often, it may keep him from going after your coral when his tummy rumbles...

Raccoon
Did the same thing. Ate all the aptaia and now he bugs my frogspawn. Doesn,t touch anything else. Goes crazy for mysis, frozen and freezed dried. I move aptasia rocks in and out for him to clean since i couldn't catch him either. How long have you had him, took mine a couple months to start behaving.

It's back at J&L today. Saw the little bugger looking fat and sassy. Poor Milli had to tear apart his reef to catch him out.

Prblem Solved
HI guys, thanks for all the sympathy, That little fish caused more damage than any majano anemone.
It's over now. I ripped out every rock in my tank to get him out. Broke several corals ( a couple of full colonies), and took all the fallen soldiers to J&L for credit, that was yesterday, Now I'm looking through my sand and I'm finding frag after frag. After all this is over, I'll post up some frags for sale, but I don't think I'll have them ready in time for the frag sale. Happy Reefing, and remember if it might be reef safe, It really isn't worth it! Cheers!-MM

 I've done so much research on this topic it would make your head spin! It was out of desperation that i did this, Those little Majanos are almost impossible to kill!
