Buy live clams about 1" size. Freeze them to kill them. Then thaw them one clam at a time, feed one clam each day, they should be gaping about 1/4" wide, enough room for the Copperband to get his snout in, not enough room for any larger fish to steal the food.
Attach the clams in the shell with a rubberband on to your mag float so you can move the clam into a good position for feeding.
Also try feeding at dusk after lights out when the other fish are asleep but the Copperband is still hunting for food.
If there are any large or harassing fish such as Tangs bothering your Copperband, you may need to temporarily move one fish or temporarily partition the tank with some eggcrate, a harassing fish will put the Copperband off his food.
