Month 1: Ate all of my spaghetti worms
Month 2: Ate all of my aptasia
Month 3: Began eating frozen mysis shrimp
Month 4: Began eating grocery store mussel
Month 5-10: Began eating the mouths of my open brains, acans, and sea whip polyps as well as bristle worms and some 'pods'.

Fortunately I have a frag tank where I could isolate the coral it was eating to.

Mine picked at the Aiptasia and would only eat some of it. Just keep in mind these fish are sometimes hard to feed. The only thing mine EVER ate was frozen brine shrimp. I tried lots of other food and it did not eat it. My Butterfly fish was also huge it got to be 4-5 inches long but after a while it started to play in my sump area to much and ofcourse died 2 weeks later. So now i got a tang instead
