Great article Matt!Graham Palmer says:
Tanne now has acquired a Baby Chaetodon Semilarvatus. Also to mention that the Chaetodon larvatus now greedily devours masstick and catches Mysis shrimp that he snatches from the water column just like all the other fish in this reef tank. there is no visible damage to corals in this reef from the corallivore butterflyfish inhabiting this reef. interesting to note the same seems to be the case on natural coral reefs with huge butterflyfish populations. I believe this whole thing has been overblown by aquarist living in the United States where reef tanks are over populated by surgeonfish and there are no pomacanthids or chaetodontids to be seen except on an actual coral reef in the wild. everyone took this word that these butterflyfish were impossible to keep. nobody in America experimented or tried but in Asia they did and succeeded.upon seeing these fish eat a captive diet American aquarist almost seem offended to see their conventional wisdom challenged and proven wrong. They have difficulty accepting that decades of conventional wisdom was factually incorrect. Sustainable aquatics also wrote a piece on so called obligate corallivore butterflyfish that they did not consider these fish to be obligate corallivore at all based on their experience. Fish like C. larvatus have migrated from the Red Sea through the Suez canal to the Mediterranean were there are no Stoney corals growing and are thriving there, which means they’ve found an alternative food source there. This is evidence of their adaptability. I hope to see the day when these special group of Butterflyfish are captively bred as this door has been opened up with successful captive reproduction of the likes of the millet seed butterfly and the Caribbean reef butterflyfish. Broodstocks can be set up and the work begun.Visit says:

Those triggers are indeed amazing.Tom Ashton says:
I think the use of Lanthanum Chloride is very useful in binding Phosphates for removal but one thing must be taken in consideration. Zebramosa Tangs for some reason react negatively to Lanthanum. They will show signs of stress with rapid respiration which can result in death if used with too high of a doseage
