Same here. I lost the 1st 2 due to starvation, even though I had tons of pods & 100s of aptasia.

will the cbb really eat corals such as rics or zoos or torches,,, there is a beautiful cbb at lfs but the prospect of going to a fowlr tank just for 1 fish isnt what i wana do...

i had a couple aptasia appear out of nowhere, i let them live a little just to see if my CBB would eat them. No interest. Still stuck getting live bloodworms and littleneck clams. I also should mention that i feed the littleneck clam half shell in a PVC 1" end cap with 1/4" mesh cover held on with an elastic band. CBB is not the only fish i have that likes clams, but he's the only one with a long enough nose to eat out of a 1" PVC cap. I learned this trick from a RC thread of course.

I bought mine to help get rid of aptasia. He completely cleaned my tank of them in a week and a half so I bred them in my sump to feed him but he started eating brine shrimp soaked in vitamins so I stopped feeding him aptasia. I've had him over 3yrs now and he is doing great.
