Re: Copperbanded Butterfly

My experience with CBB's has not been good. These fish often come from the Philippines were cyanide use is quite common and they don't ship very well. Most go on hunger strikes and will refuse to eat no matter what you try, others will eat but eventually decline. I had one that would feed out of my hands and one day it just decided to stop eating, it was terrible to see such a miserable death.

Sue and Doni have had great success with this fish but this isn't typical IME and research. Also these fish are not completely reefsafe as has been mentioned, mine would eat fan worms and would pick on snails and other motile inverts. Just my 2 pennies
