Copper banded bfly

[realnew]

I just bought some more lr and have noticed an outbreak of Aptasia. I have a few Peppermint Shrimp, but all they ever do is hide on the bottom of the LR. I haven't noticed them eating at the Ap. at all. I have a reputable LFS that advised I could get a Copper Banded Bfly. My question is how difficult are these to care for? I have had my tank up and running for almost a year, and all my levels appear good except for a strange question re: Nitrates that I posted under another thread.

from what ive heard fairly difficult
and they need lot of room

A CBBF probly will not eat your Aptasia. Mine never has. If this is the purpose of getting it then dont. Try Joes Juice or simular.

Our CBBF ate all our aiptasia and then ate nothing else. We tried to feed it all kinds of food and would eat nothing. It finally died.

mine eats aptasia and is alive and well i think they are easy but i also think saltwater tanks are easy so u figure it out just make shure they feed it at the store it is very unlikly it will eat flakes and pellets

instead of getting joes juice you can also just get a turkey blaster and blow boiling water on it. i just did it today and its gone
