Probably not the best advice, but for what it's worth, I've read once somewhere that if you get a longnose butterfly (Forcipiger flavissimus or if you can find one, F. longirostris), they tend to do a LOT better in captivity and will more readily accept prepared foods ... and CBB's might "hang out" with them and may become more accepting of prepared foods.
However, I don't remember where I read that, plus, I haven't found too many good accounts of how reef safe the longnose butterfly's are. They might be perfectly safe but I couldn't find a lot of examples on the boards, so I don't know how safe your clams might be (if you have any that is). I kind of wish I knew the answer but with a number of clams myself I'm not comfortable taking the risk. But if you don't have clams, it might be worth a shot. They're strikingly beautiful fish, I've come real close to picking one up a couple of times.

Thought I'd update on my CBB he's about 2" in size and is now eating PE mysis
 While feeding the tank we dropped some mysis very close to him and after it hit him in the nose, he ate some. After a few bites he started to chase away the clowns to grab some more. Yippee! (no worries the other fish got food too  ) Just thought I'd share, I'm very happy he's eating now. All I have to do now is convince him aiptasia is good to eat too!
