If they get any worse, I'm going to take action.... for now, I'm just hoping that they stay as is.

Copperband butterflies... reef safe? really?

I think they can be hit or miss but mine has been well behaved. Aside from ridding my tank of dusters and a couple aiptasia I had it hasn't touched my corals.

The annoying plague-like ones I've always had were the ones with hard white tubes. I used to go around my display every now and then and just shatter them all. They make the rock all sharp too and silly me thought the fish could even be scraping on them. I just don't like the way they look. If they're messing with your husbandry then axe'em =)
