Weird CBB Help Plz

[M Woodhill]

I got a bigger CBB for my tank coz I'd already had a yellow tang--which is infamous for bullyin cbb. when i put it in, i reaquascaped and the yellow tang became quite submissive, leavin the cbb alone.

but the cbb been behavin weird. it harrassed the yellow tang occasionally on its own initiative. the tang sure counterstrikes. this ends up well insofar with them dashin apart

my concern is my previous cbb's always ate frozen mysis first then turned to aiptasia or just simply didn't give a bite to aiptasia

this one really is eatin aiptasia--i have seen the chiilin scenario from time to time and the population of the aiptasia is really in check. smaller ones shrink and vanish day by day while few gigantic ones are left untouched

so will it finally accept frozen mysis after all the smaller aiptasia is eaten up? or will it just starve itself to death?

any help plz chime in

Keep trying the mysis everyday and he will eventually eat it. Does he move toward the mysis when you put it in the tank or does he eat any and spit it out? If he does either of the two I mentioned that is a step in the right direction and there is high hope to get the CB to eat prepared foods

Put some thawed mysis in a cup, pour a lil juice from a jar of garlic in and mix it up, my cbb eats it.

If that doesnt work buy live mysis mine devours those

It takes time bur dont starve him to death, i believe these fish need to eat a lot the first 2 dats i got him he ate over 100+ live mysis a day. then again im trying to fatten him up

If you can't get him to eat mysis I have always had success with live blackworms
