I'm contemplating getting a Cooperband Butterfly fish, anyone ever own one. I'm having some Aiptasia issues and the peppermint shrimp I got suck at eating them, so I'm thinking of a butterfly. It's just that I own a couple of Big anemones and I'm worried the copperband might try to eat them too.

hmm, I do have zoas and cloves. I saw a Copperband Butterfly at Midwest Coral in one of their frag tanks, so I know it's coral safe, but they won't sell it to me.

Had one for almost a year, that just kicked the bucket
they're great characters and hard to get acclimated due to their reluctance to eating. She ate all aptasia and never went for the rbta. I don't know about purchasing online. This fish might be best bought local so you can see if it is already eating and healthy.

I have a CB in with zoas/cloves & he eats luke a champ! Of course he only eats live blackworms.

Puffer I'm sure yours is healthy but it's not meant for a novist. That's the point I was trying to get to.

I was actually commenting on the fact that he didn't bother cloves or zoas but also that with a consistent supply of live worms (which most don't supply for their fish), they may have a chance of success. I might also state that despite live worms & tons of aptasia to eat, I lost my 1st 2. If this one didn't make it, I wasn't planning on trying again

My copperbanded recently passed for unknown reasons.
They are somewhat delicate. Just an FYI.

How difficult is it to keep live worms? I would be interested in it, but we really don't have anywhere to put a big system for sustaining them? How do you do it? What is the process basically?

Figures, one of the fish I wanted is out of stock.
Actually, Coral Reef has a big one for the same price, so I think I'll get it there.
