Copperband sounds like a good option. I would love to hear from more people that can attest to them being reef safe. I do not want anything that is going to nip at corals.

Cove Beach-What do you mean by hunting rocks upside down?

 

[Cove Beach]

Best i can describe it is as he swims up over the top of the rocks and heads down the other side, he dosen't pivot to right himself in relation to the surface. I think the reason for this is his mouth is most efficient in a certain position. Or it could be he dosen't care which way is up or down. Regardless a very coo fish. Also, he has not bothered any of my corals. He did wipe out a featherduster, and i can't comment about zoanthids as i don't have any. I was kinda hoping he would eat my xenia though!!

My Copperband did not bother Zoanthids or Zenia !

 

[Cove Beach]

Neither does mine, was hopin he would trim them back a bit !

I used to have a copperband w/ three tangs and had no ill effects. The problem for me came from believing a guy that said you could keep them in threes... One killed the other two. He was eventually stung by a different type of anemone. I now have a facala b-fly and there are not any anemones in my tank now. Mine has been LPS, paly, and SPS safe; I don't know about zoos though. I will have to see if he likes them or not (I have a few I can spare for the experiment!
