I could click yes to a few things there. ATM my CBB of 1 year does a fantastic job of eating aptasia and many other things in my tank (some good some bad). But this is also the 5th I've tried (3 of which died). Definitally a difficult fish but worth its weight in gold if you can find a good one.

Mine did an awsome job of getting at the ones it could but died about a month or 2 after getting it. Very cool fish though!

I've had my CBB for 3 years now. He is my oldest fish and amazingly one of the very few fish I have that survived the marine velvet disease that went through my tanks. He has always eaten aptasia as well as mysis and he has been reef safe (softies, lps & zoas) in my tank. I have tried two others but both died shortly after I bought them. I think the key with these fish is to find one that the store has in or can hold for a couple of weeks and one that is eating mysis already.
