CB butterfly

Few months on my CB now. He/She is a pig like all of my fish when it comes to feeding time. The CB did find the few aiptasia I had in the tank and promptly removed them for me. I do still get one that loves to grow by the mantle of my maxi clam that the CB wont go near. I hit it with Aiptasia X from time to time to keep it under control. If the DB stays away from the clam its ok by me.

What I did notice about the CB that I didnt expect is He/she will eat snails. It can get that beak between the shell and glass/rock and with a loud snap get a good piece of the snail. Have not seen a snail actually die from a CB bite... yet...

The fish are gathered together in the corner closest to the kitchen where I prepare their food

I bought the perfect size CB on tuesday and brought it back to the house. while pedro and I were messing with the wavebox, the CB drip acclimated for about 3hrs. We put it in the tank and it swam around looking happy. the next morning before going to school I spotlight the tank and found him in the entrance of the cave. When I came back from school I could not find him. I moce some rocks and found just his back end left and my monster bristle worms chomping away.

I am definitely going to get another, hopefully the next one does better
