The problem with an LFS fish is that you have to put them in quarantine. And there lies the problem. I've had butterflys before and in a community tank they seem to do ok, but all alone in a tank for a month seems to do them more harm then good. They eat at first and then slowly start to reject food as they are unhappy.
Thats why I need to get a fish I can add directly to my main tank without fear of parasites. I bought a super nice Hippo Tang from Albert at Golds that he had in a display tank for two years. I just like knowing that the new fish I get are completely healthy. Hey Albert, got any two year old Butterflys

I wouldn't quarantine a butterfly for disease, ime they are one of the hardiest fish in that area. A bare tank would be bad. But if you feel the need, just set up a tank with live rock to get it eating before introducing it into the main tank.
Aggressive fish in the main tank are sometimes more of a problem for the butterfly, but I agree, if you can get some weight on it before hand, it will likely overcome. Fish seem to accept butterflys for the most part.
