Copperbands in a Reef

[toytech]

These fish are very slow eaters , I actually picked one up today . It was eating frozen Mysis at the store , but they kinda chew there food , spit it out and suck it back in until its small enough . My first choice for a reef safe butterfly .

Actually, the best butterflys for me are the Pearlscales. Did a great job of eradicating my aiptasia (better than the copperbands), and much easier to feed. And reef safe, too (contrary to what you might read on the internet). I have one in each of my tanks, along with softies, LPS and SPS, and they leave the corals alone. Again, though, need to get them feeding first in a QT, and then transition to a display tank. But once trained, they accept frozen, dry, pellets, or basically anything that your other fish eat.
