Cbb

Well, I have had my Copper Band Butterfly for about two weeks now. At first he would eat a few mysis here and there. Now he will not touch them. I have also tried cracked clams. My angel tears the clams up, but the CBB will not touch those either. I also tried cutting the clams up into little pieces. Nothing. All he will do is pick stuff off the rocks. What should I do. I can tell that he is getting a little skinnier.

Check out this thread:

That method is how I have trained very finicky CBB's in the past. At one time I had two CBB's in my reef doing very well.
Some CBB's are much more finicky than others but do plan on making a homemade mush for yours as they will never eat flake or pellets.
BTW.. mine does NOT like mysis at all

Let me know if you have any questions!
