Copperband Butterfly Fish

[gveng]

Well, I made a mistake and bought one from a fellow reefer who has it for a month that claimed it ate aiptasia.

bad new, it's not touching the aiptasia.

good news, it looks to be picking at the rocks, usually a good sign.

Any advice on what i should feed it? live or frozen? any tips or tricks to feeding them?

thanks!

Mine loves mysis (frozen and freeze dried) and the small pellets

Mysis (PE and Hikari); spirulina-enriched brine; chopped scallop, clam and shrimp (fresh from the grocery store); and live blackworms.

How do you feed? Just throw it into the tank? And how often?

 

[SDguy]

Anything you feed, make sure is is finely minced....longer than shorter seems to temp them.

garden worms, less than 2" ones if u have a garden. after 6 weeks my cbb is trained to eat soaked(freezed dry mysis), chopped shrimp.
