copperband butterfly reefsafe?

[roushmustang]

are the cbb reefsafe? what are your experiences with them in a reef tank or fish only tank?

 

[snorvich]

Some are reef safe, some are not. Some eat aiptasia, some do not. Some will eat in captivity, some will not. But best way to tempt them to eat is probably blackworms (NOT bloodworms).

what do you think about this food and i saw a video of a cbb eating this stuff but i cant seem to find it anymore.... if i do get the cbb ill try the blackworms to get it to start to eat

My copperband nipped at my clams pretty badly, but other than that was reef safe.

do you put one in at a time for the cbb or do you put like 3-4 of them in and could you post some pictures or video of you feeding your cbb

 

[snorvich]

I feed my entire tank blackworms once a day (out of four feedings). I initiate by dropping about 5-6 in the tank, then once feeding is established but the rest in. Keep in mind that blackworm life in saltwater is about 15 seconds.

i would still like to see a video if you could put one up later this week and the dead worms they don't eat will just sit on the bottom till they pick at them again
