Tankmates for a Copperbanded Butterfly

[rocketlily]

I'm planning a fish list and I'm thinking of adding a Copperbanded Butterfly to help with Apitasia control. Just wondering what other fish do well with this one as tankmates.

6 line wrasse, Lawnmower Blenny, Coral Beauty, Goby+pistol shrimp combo,
Orchid Dottyback, Golden Dwarf Moray eel,
I think any or all of the above would be fine depending on how much live rock and size of your tank

Be aware that Copperband Butterflies often die of starvation. Some will eat, many will not. It's very hit or miss with them.

Mine ate,it liked all frozen food....didn't matter,i peeled it of the vortech this morning The anemone had breakfast

[Myka]

They are also prone to parasitic infections (internal or external)...maybe that is what yours died of dreef...? How long did you have it for?

I have my CBB with tangs, angels, clowns, gobies, chromis and a wrasse. Everyone gets along fine.
