Saltwater Fish
Klein's Butterflyfish.
Klein's butterflyfish is considered one of the most reef-tolerant butterflyfish because it grazes heavily on algae and zooplankton rather than living entirely on coral polyps like many of its relatives.

Good tank mates
One of the calmer, more peaceful butterflyfish, Klein's mixes well with tangs, wrasses, larger gobies, and other gentle reef and fish-only tankmates, and is usually fine in a group only if introduced together. Avoid very aggressive fish that will bully it and avoid keeping it with prized ornamental shrimp, feather dusters, and soft corals or LPS polyps it may sample. Multiple butterflyfish in one tank can squabble, so plan space and cover.
