Longnose butterfly?
http://www.wetwebmedia.com/forcipig.htm
Anyone have one ? I'm just reading up on them and finding myself growing enamored with them. Seems like they're so-so as far as reef safeness goes, softies and LPS might be at risk? Any other downsides? Best left to a fish-only or mmmmaybe could try in a reef? (My questions are purely academic at this point BTW.. just looking at pretty pictures and wonderin'-what-if..)

I tried one a while back to see if it might snack on my friggin' Majanos... it didn't make it...
 They seem real timid, so I would make sure it doesn't get bullied too much like mine did. As for risk to corals - well is there really any hard and fast rules when it comes to Butterfly's?

They are indeed. I was somewhat surprised to read that they are (well, at least by Fenner, in the link I provided above) regarded as hardier than CBB's.
The text at http://www.marinecenter.com/fish/but...nosebutterfly/ seems to indicate that LPS and softies may be at risk, but that SPS should be safe. They make no mention of clams however, which to me is really the big question mark then, because I am envisioning a more or less SPS-only tank for my 280g setup (i.e., no softies, no LPS) but it would most certainly be including my clams.
