copperband and LTA

[ransomed4ever]

I just noticed that I am starting to get a number of aiptasia in my tank. I was thinking about getting a copperband butterfly to take care of them, but I also have a LTA for my clowns. Do copperbands go after large nems or would the LTA be safe. If not is there an aiptasia eater that doesn't go for other nems?

I've had CBB's for years w/ LTA and sebae nems no problem.

~4" copperband butterflyfish five+ years, eradicated all aiptasia anemones.
sebae anemone ~2" two years+ ago, now ~8". i haven't had any problems.

thanks for sharing your experiences, looks like I'll be getting a copperband as soon as I can find a healthy one at a LFS
