Reef Safe Butterflies?

Hi Folks; Wonderful web site, chock full of information, and yet…… Here’s the question (and I have poured over the FAQs and am still not sure): Like many, I can’t help but view butterflies as perhaps one of THE quintessential reef fishes, and would like to have one in my 90. I have tried a H. acuminatus and a Chaetodon unimaculatus (at different times) and both took an immediate and undesired liking to my open brain coral, (but not other corals including my Sebae anemone) so I quickly traded them in. Now I have spotted at my LFS a very nice Chaetodon miliaris, which by some accounts may be “reef safe”.
