First; Copperband Butterflyfish are sometimes difficult to get started on Plankton or Mysis as they normally eat worms etc.
Second; Since you have had it a while it has been trained to eat PE mysis.

By wild fish I meant fishes that have recently been imported. ie less than 3 weeks from time of capture on the reef.

Ok, I have pictures of Acanthopyllia, Caulastrea, Cynarina, Favites, Lobophyllia, Moseleya, Symphyllia all eating it. Most LPS will readily eat it.

The information was provided by the supplier of the plankton. I mention that on the product page on the website, just after the lab analysis.

Cheers,
