I had mine in a butterfly tank with no corals for around 12 years.
I doubt your corals will survive with this fish in the tank as he'll pick at any polyps available. I don't remember now if that particular one was twitchy, but with all my tanks and all the fish in them, I DID have fish that would twitch, most likely due to parasites, but as long as the tanks are kept well and the fish properly nourished, their immune systems should be able to keep the parasites from getting out of hand.

I believe twitching is a sign of flukes, common in butterfly fish. I recall you can generally have good success treating the fish for them in a QT tank but it's a bit of a process as the larvae is immune to treatments. Flukes are also contagious so wouldn't be wise to introduce any fish showing signs into an established tank.

The more I read the less likely this fish will be on my list , seems it has a taste for coral of every kind . As far as the flukes when I get the tank up and running all fish will get a 6 week QT and will be treated with pirazipro , ive had good luck with it in the past .
