Looks for a cooper banded Butterfly

[Tecdiverfl]

Let my tank go to hell and finally decided to get it back in shape and I am loaded with aptasia. Before I start loading it with corals I am looking for a hungry cooper banded butterfly as well as Peppermint shrimp. Let me know if anyone is looking to sell one.

Also going to be looking for some tangs and wrasses soon.

Klein's butterfly work better and are hardier.

Any idea if anyone local sells them?

If you live in Delray you should just make some calls to pet stores. I live in Davie and don't know the stores in your area.

Exotic aquatic in Oakland park had two small ones last week that looked really healthy. Maybe worth giving them a call to see if they are still there

I have one that eats aptasia like theirs no tomorrow lol

My suggestion is to use Aptasia X and then add a bunch of Peppermint Schrimp. Butterflies are hit and miss to say the least. Some Filefish could help and look into Bergia Nudis.

2nd the aptasia X + peppermint shrimp. Then you don't have to worry about feeding the copperband after the aptasia is gone

I have been kalk blasting the areas to get it under control. Next step are some peppermints

I had great luck with an ORA bristle tail filefish that I got on sale from Divers Den in a 40 gallon reef. It took about a month but the Aptasia are completely gone. The fish eats everything and gets along with everyone so you don't have to worry about life after Aptasia

Including zoas and palys.
