Can you mix a Copper Band and Yellow Longnose?

I was told the yellow will usually kill the copperband?

I have a 210 gallon aquarium and i already own a yellow long-nosed butterfly..

Thanks

bump?

I had no problems when I did it. I added the YLN second. They mostly ignored each other, there was some dorsal spine-poking, but mostly just rowdiness. I had them together for more than a year but the YLN jumped out of the tank.

Depends on the individual fish.

I heard the Copperband would eat Zoa's once hungry?

No, she's 18 months with me now, much larger than when I boguht her. and has never eaten anything decorative in the tank! Eats mostly PE mysis and 'pods, loves live blackworms and will not eat dry food. Will eat small earthworms, enthusiastically. At one point She wiped out all aiptasia in my reef but seems to have slowed down on that lately, she doesn't eat the big ones so I have to get those.

That's already a year ago; I need a new picture!
