ah well then just keep that camera handy

Do you think there's any way you could quantify how much coral the guy eats over a period of time?

Do they eat anything else other than sps's?

I don't think they eat anything else but will let you know if they do.

I will take pictures of the corals I notice him eating the most, continuous pictures of those corals should tell whether a sustainable food source is present.

Not sure, not really planning for the worst, just the best.

You could always send him to me, I already have someone picking at the polyps of my acros. He could eat to his hearts content

Makes me wonder how big a tank one would need fully stocked with corals to make a couple of those beautiful coral eatting butterflys alive without slowly killing off all the corals in the tank

Well maybe you should have thought about it before you ordered her.
But, lets hope for the best.
