I am also hoping that my copperband will eventualy find a taste for them. It is still small and acclimating so I will give it a chance.

If the copperband manage to find them and start to eat them, then the filefish would be too much competition.

its also been my experience that the filefish nips at zoas and lps not really devouring them like the aiptasia. mine did eat some polyps of nuclear greens and rpe's but they were none the worse for recovery:):) he mostly like the candycanes flesh for some reason and when he nips you dont even notice a chunk or anything infact my candycanes seem unbothered by it:):)
