Found this little guy in a lfs tank while I was on a weekend trip to Chicago and decided to pick him up.
Pretty Fly For a Butterfly

Very nice pearlscale butterfly, I love butterflies but unfortunately many of them aren't reef safe. I'm assuming your adding him to your fowlr set up. Nice pick up bro. Hopefully he's already eating good, a lot of times they're picky especially under the stress of a new home. My favorite butterfly is the saddleback. What other fish do you own?
Beyond the reef. I stopped at tropi-aquatics but there wasn't anyone interested in doing any but standing behind the counter on their phones.
He ate some formula two last night and he's been taking turns with the kole tang on the grazing clip. Currently it's just him, a kole and a six line.
Oh that's great, eating seaweed will promote his immune system as well. I'm sure he'd wolf down mysis shrimp. Do you have any corals in the tank or are you just going fish only? You've got a good bunch so far. You could probably try a foxface or rabbit fish, trigger, puffer, blenny and hawkfish still. Tons of options for you out there
That happens at times in Lombard! I know a guy there personally he texts me new and cool cichlids and etc.
I had a few juvie large Angels (emporer, blue griddle, and blue face), a few tangs(yellow, powder blue, and blue hippo), small Angels (flame and bicolor) and a few other species( bicolor goatfish, diamond goby, raccoon butterfly, various anthias, and porcupine puffer).
I have a 14 gallon biocube "reef" but don't think I'm going to try corals because I have a few more fish that are probably not going to be too reef safe.
Interesting little store with some nice stock that I would have bought but nobody wanted to help me so I went elsewhere.
I should say that there was an older guy who was freshwater dipping fish in the Ray tank as he did waterchanges but he didn't seem to acknowledge that I was there.
