Anyone ever keep Semilarvatus Butterflies?

[Nocturnal]

I'm looking into maybe getting a pair as a new addition to my tank.
Wondering if anyone has ever kept them and had any words of advice about them.
TIA

they are hardy, beautiful...and EXPENSIVE!!! the last one i ordered and brought in four years ago is still alive in the guys tank...but he paid 110 bucks for it.
IF you can find them they are awsome. Kinda bratty that i remember, not wanting to let everyone be peaceful. This one i know lives with seven niger triggers.

They're going to be in with a Chrysurus Angel and a Crosshatch trigger, so I think the others can hold their own. $110 bucks is pretty cheap actually. I've never seen them at that price. I hope when I do find them they are though.
Thanks for the info!!!

Beautiful. Reef safe?

Couldn't care less if they're reef safe. I probably should have noted that it is going to be/or is a FOWLR tank

Just for matt l ... Not reef safe!

Very hardy...look great in a school too! $110 is very good! I believe they are around $50-60 wholesale so thats a good retail cost! there is a wholesaler in FL that use to get them quite often if any LFS wants to carry them & needs the info let me know.
