![]() I've had the wretched little beastie for 2.5 years now. Right off the bat it would eat fan worms and spaghetti worms. After about a month it started on aptasia followed by frozen mysis shrimp and raw grocery store clams/mussels. After that it was all down hill. It begun eating the mouths of of my acanthastrea, trachyphyllia and lobophyllia which all had to be moved. With them gone it went after the pseudopterogorgia polyps which I moved... then it ate and killed my orange plate coral before I had a chance to stop it. At some point it even begun eating bristle worms which is fine with me. But just today I watched it take a big nip out of the mantle of my derasa! Upon closer inspection I see its been going after the derasa for some time now as there are missing bits all around the mantle. So my remaining clams are now in the frag system with all of the other coral that I had to separate.
I've been feeding the butterfly PE mysis once every day. There are only three fish that eat it in my tank and I feed a cube about the size of a regular gaming dice each time. I add a bit at a time so that nearly all of the food is consumed and not lost to the sump. Apparently this is not enough and so I'm going to begin feeding at least twice a day now in hopes that the CBB will leave whats left alone...
