Coppers are hit and miss as to what they will eat.. If anything.
What are your plans for your existing CBB if you find a new one? You can not add a new one with your existing fish.. The established will harass the new one to death. These are a very hard fish to get eating. Mine was already eating mysis when I bought her, but OMG is she slow and picky. I swear if the individual mysis isn't just perfectly formed and to her liking she won't touch it. If she were in a busy tank with agressive eaters she would starve. She does like to pick on a Manila clam. Oh speaking of feeding fresh clams.. Always break open or freeze the clam first to kill it. I didn't, and came home to one of my filefish's noses stuck in the clam. He wasn't especially impressed to say the least.

thanks for replies guys. I understand the hit and miss with the fish, that's why I'm looking for one that's already eating that helps me with high a success.
I will still consider with peppermint shrimp as I'm not feeding music to my corals anymore so might not need to worry about that too mich

LF APTASIA eating CopperBand Butterfly Fish
I had an aptasia outbreak in my old 120g. I tried managing it with Aptasia X with some success but it always came back.
I went out and bought a CBB to eat the aptasia. Once that was all gone, the CBB started eating everything else in my tank. Very disappointing! Just be careful.
