I use oyster. I was told that some other shelfish might be too tough for the copperband to eat. Oysters have tender flesh and they may be more aromatic so the fish prefer it?
In any case, mine was not toutching the oyster at first, not until it saw the trigger eating it, then it started to pick at it and now it's a competition between the copperband and the trigger for the oyster, they both want it.
I have read that perseverence is the key and some people have tried putting it a few times before the copperband finaly decided to sample it. You might as well mix little pieces of oyster meat within what you are feeding your copperband and see if it get the taste for it.

When I put fresh clam in the tank, my CBB won't touch it? Any tricks?
