From what I've seen with this species, success stories are few and far between. Consider yourself fortunate and I'm glad he's doing so well after two years. My experience was not as fortunate, I watched my purchase slowly starve to death despite my best efforts. If you could provide more details as to what entails the right care and attention, that would be beneficial. Seems to me it's more of a 'luck of the draw' scenario with CBBs. I'll never take that chance again, I hope you have continued success with yours though, they are a striking fish.

I've had mine for one year. I bought it from a fellow reefer. It eats most fresh and frozen meaty foods; will not touch flakes or pellets.
