Copper band in reef tank

My CBB was a little bugger to start with... refused to eat anything that wasn't live. Finally convinced it by taking a live mussel, smashing the shell a bit with a rolling pin and chucking it in... then progressed onto frozen mussel. Will now eat anything I Chuck in, even flake, but never from the water column.

Given their love for mussels and worms I wouldn't keep one with feather dusters or clams.

Out of interest, I also have a heniochus butterfly... it's demolished the few aptaisia I had. The CBB has never shown any interest in any anemone or coral.

I have had my CBB for about 1 1/2 years. He eats anything I feed except nori. I have rock flower anemones, zoas, acans euphyllia, SPS, duncans and he's never bothered any of them. He has eliminated the few aiptasia I had as well as every single feather duster. I don't have a clam.
 
Mine started to eat live black worms yesterday. I decided to try the black worms again and this time she was picking at them as they were wiggling and sinking to the bottom, once dead on the bottom of the tank she wouldn't touch them again until I turned the PH back on to give them some movement.
She also started to flash against the PVC so I started a round of Prazipro last night. I was concerned that the Prazi would suppress her appetite, but it didn't seem to phase her because she chowed down on the black worms this morning.
