I've had my present CBB for 17 months which I purchased at Ocean Aquatics.
Month 1 it ate all of my fan worms and spaghetti worms
Month 2 it ate all of my aptasia
Month 3 it began eating frozen mysis
Month 4 to present it started eating my open brains, acans and a photosynthetic sea whip. I've also seen it eat the occasional bristle worm.

Janet is usually pretty stellar at making sure things are at least eating frozen before they go to a new home...
I've tried to buy cbb's there before and wasn't allowed or put on a wait list...lol

I've had mine for 7 months now. Bought it from another Canreef member; although I don't know how long she had it for. For the first 6 months it would only eat clams, mussels and oysters. Just last month it finally tried mysis and is now eating any frozen food I give it. I have several LPS, including brains and I have yet to see it show any interest in them.
