I have a Copperband Butterflyfish and I was thinking of adding a different butterfly (Heniochus Black & White Butterflyfish). I wondering if I can house them together in a 125 gallon tank. Is this a good idea or will they pick on each other?

Heniochus safe but does eat zoa. Others would be threadfin, vagabond, pearlscale and especially pyramid
