Copper Banded Butterfly

[mike_dani]

Well, I just noticed I have a Aptasia problem so I went down to the LFS and got me a Copper Banded Butterfly. They have had him for three weeks and it is fat and medium in size.

I was impressed with the fish right from the start, it spent ten minutes in a FW dip and then into the Lagoon. From about minute three it found and began eating its first Aptasia in my tank. It looked at the LPS and chose the Aptasia multiple times, hope it keeps this kind of attitude.

did you see it eat anything at the lfs,tried to feed it other foods,otherwise once its job is done,it might starve?....or eat your lfs?.....:fish1:

please say you researched those fishes before buying it and that you're ready to care for the butterfly

Nope no research just feel like trying my luck....... Yes I know fish and will not buy anything that I dont know or have not owned in the past. He is eating Mysis and pods. I think he will do great in a 300G display with 500 pounds of live rock between the tank and the 300G sump.
